Here's another big idea CO2 as a feedstock.

Biodegradable plastics out of CO2 how plant like.

And so what does that mean, that it's biodegradable and biocompatible?

I mentioned it briefly at the beginning the protein is biodegradable and biocompatible.

The first is selecting a feedstock, preferably something that's regional, that's in your area, right

Shoes for Nike, where the uppers are polyesters, infinitely recyclable, the bottoms are biodegradable soles.

Today, we use a single feedstock, petroleum, to heat our homes, power our cars and make most of the materials you see around you.

The next is actually taking this feedstock and putting in a tool, physically filling an enclosure, a mold, in whatever shape you want to get.

Then we would have an anaerobic digester, which could deal with all the biodegradable waste from the local area, turn that into heat for the greenhouse and electricity to feed back into the grid.

But, of course, for most of us, we know how to grow teeth, and therefore we can take adult stem teeth, put them on a biodegradable mold, re grow a tooth, and simply implant it.

Matt Froind, a dairy farmer in New Canaan, Connecticut, who woke up one day and realized the crap from his cows was worth more than their milk, if he could use it to make these biodegradable flower pots.

The waste water that leaks out is water that already now goes into that coastal environment, and the algae that leak out are biodegradable, and because they're living in waste water, they're fresh water algae, which means they can't

It's sustainable it's a sustainable material that is processed all in water and at room temperature and is biodegradable with a clock, so you can watch it dissolve instantaneously in a glass of water or have it stable for years.

But the only way we think that biology can have a major impact without further increasing the cost of food and limiting its availability is if we start with CO2 as its feedstock, and so we're working with designing cells to go down this road.
