Bioplastics - this is the perfect addition to an integrated farm and forestry operation. Cellophane is reformulated cellulose (wood), produced via an acid and base dunk of sawdust. This may be used in glazing. Car bodies may be made - the original car bodies for Ford were soybean-derived bioplastics. Other useful objects may be machined or extruded. Essentially, the promise of bioplastics is producing all that is currently derived from crude oil. This is worth the investment in technology - at the promise of local material use.
