Plastic Made of Potatoes
Yes, plastic made of potatoes is a thing. And that\u2019s what we\u2019re talking about in this episode of the Sustainability Champions podcast!\n\nAll sectors within the design industry are under growing pressure to find ways to become more sustainable with the products they produce. As consumers demand companies to shift to more sustainable practices, companies are looking for better options, especially around the way plastics are used and recycled. Today\u2019s guest presents another solution that fits perfectly into the circular economy and involves some interesting source materials.\n\nIn this episode of Sustainability Champions, I speak with Rob Nicoll, Co-Founder and CMO at Chip[s] Board and Champion of Potato Plastics.\n\nChip[s] Board creates bio-plastics out of waste from the potato industry. They make durable plastic that is biodegradable and recyclable post-use. Currently, their plastic is used to produce glasses and other fashion items. The name of their game really is sustainability because they\u2019re aiming to become Cradle to Cradle Certified, which means their production is truly 100% circular economy.\n\nListen to the episode if you\u2019d like to learn about how Chip[s] Board turns literally tons of potato peels into plastic that other companies use to create sustainable products.\n\nIf you\u2019d like to support us, please give the Sustainability Champions podcast a 5-star review in the Apple Podcast app and subscribe so you\u2019ll know when the next episode is released!\n\nResources:\n\n\n Website: https://www.chipsboard.com\n\n Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chips_board\n\n--\n\nHosted by Daniel Hartz\n\nSustainability Champions\n\nhttps://www.sustainabilitychampions.com\n\nInstagram: @SustainabilityChampions\n\nFacebook: @SustainabilityChampions\n\nLinkedIn: @Sustainability Champions
