File Under: Sugar Beets, Flax and now Potato Plastic?

This WCSH6 story is about a possible plan to make bio-plastics (currently made with corn) out of Maine potatoes. If they actually built this facility and actually operated it, that would be a great boon to Aroostook County. The beauty of bio-plastics, is that they bio-degrade in land fills unlike the regular petroleum based plastics. I just hope it doesn't end up like the other two great saviours of our economy, sugar beets and flax.
