PLA: Plastic's New Frontier

tracy — Tue, 04/26/2005 - 11:59

In their April 2005 edition, Business 2.0 included a little article that rocked my world. Apparently, NatureWorks, a subsidiary of Cargill, "has pioneered a cheap way to turn [corn] into a substance that's well suited to the demands of packaging." As a common-sense environmentalist, this announcement came as a nice surprise to me. We've already had biodegradable "plastics" but most of them would not have been able to handle the demands placed on packaging. For instance, some of them start degrading as soon as they get wet while others are rather fragile and start degrading once the outer covering is pierced or cracked.

New Site Look

tracy — Mon, 04/25/2005 - 20:27

Welcome to the new site. In part to make things easier to keep up to date and in part to learn about content management systems, I have decided to move my site to using Drupal. I customized the look and feel to be more personalized and I will probably be tinkering around with it for the next few weeks. Well the migration is done, and that was my big project for this evening, so I think I will leave it at this. Look around and have fun.

  • @citizenherald If I may, I would suggest putting a note on the category page so people know. I know other people who were confused too. — 13 years 34 weeks ago
  • @citizenherald Believe me, I definitely understand. And thanks for the reply, at least I know if I buy the paper it will be in there. — 13 years 34 weeks ago
  • @citizenherald I know it's the last thing you want to hear, but I'm under a paper deluge as it is. Maybe a sub model for online content? — 13 years 34 weeks ago
  • @citizenherald Any chance you guys could post the police and fire logs again? I really miss them. — 13 years 40 weeks ago
  • @danigrrl That was quite amusing. — 13 years 40 weeks ago
