Self Healing Biodegradable Plastic
CWSF · 2026 Natural Resources
Overview
Trying to help the planets ongoing battle with plastic pollution, my project is about biodegradable plastics and if they can heal themselves meaning repair themselves after being damaged. I wanted to see which healing property would work the best to heal the plastic including moisture, heat, pressure or all three together. I wanted to see how strong these plastics could be overall and what type is the best. My project can make a difference in this world because it will cause no more harmful plastic pollution because it is made out of natural materials. That means it will break down into natural byproducts through microorganisms like bacteria and fungi digesting it.
