1. Learn what kind of plastic is used for regular plastic bottles 2. Research current technology on biodegradable plastics 3. Determine which materials to use in this design 4. Build prototype 5. Test final solution
Project Progress to Date: 1. Completed research of current technology 2. Determined best method and materials for this design 3. Completed mixing and modeling the samples to be tested
The machine used to mix the PLA, PVA and starch together.
Next Step: 1. Test the samples in a compost pile to see the extent of biodegradability
