Although potatoe, or rather starch, plastics are a viable material for replacing many consumer plastics derived from oil. It is not my intention by experimenting with it to do so. My exploration through objects as the design tool or mould for a new object requires materials; plaster is all very well for illustrating form but not practical in use.
The process and ingredients behind starch plastics are incredibly simple, this leaves the material open to everyone. Maybe my design could instruct a user on how to form something new from an object rather than just discard it.
