Lobster plastic

They've come up with a solution to the 8 billion tonnes of plastic plopped into our oceans every year, threatening global sealife. Drumroll: Turn the sealife into... plastic? šŸ¦šŸ¤”

    @ everyone bitching on this: They've created a closed-loop system that utilizes sea-food WASTE. This doesn't mean they're deliberately fishing up animals just to turn them into this product; they're using something that would have otherwise been wasted to make an organic product. It builds opportunities for BIODEGRADABLE single-use products while also minimizing already existing waste streams. What is the issue??

    Not a good idea. Lobster populations are decimated as it is.

    Use a plant based, sustainable product to make a compostable form of plastic.

    Does this new product mean that the creatures will be hunted to death and become extinct? Seems we fix one problem and cause another.

    So many negative comments here. Ugh. The point of this is not to increase the level of shrimp/lobster farming/trawling, but rather, it's to make use of the prawnshells (that givenly already exist and had been thaught to be useless) as an alternative to non-biodegradable plastic bags.

    So for hundreds of years, prawnshells have been turned into prawn crackers.... Tasty and eco friendly. Now some genius turns them into plastic, of which we already have too much..... Progress!

    So..... take more from the sea? And shrimps are heavily trawled. Nice science, but no more eco friendly. Bet those poor little guys have already got plastic in their tiny bellies because of filter feeding!
