After a long hiatus the OSE bioplastic project is back under development. Background research is near completion and current work is to design and build prototypes of a chemical reactor capable of producing PLA (and PE).
Where to pick up again?: 1. Determine the necessary capabilities of a reactor for producing bioplastics. 2. Make reactor core schematics and determine manufacturing techniques. 3. Build a budget for reactor prototype and substrates. 4. Crowdfund necessary funds. 5. Build prototypes at FeF in Summer 2019.
