| From PS-Magazine.com Products The Spud raincoat: Buy it, Wear it, Plant it,and then eat it! By Comp Bio Products Ltd May 26, 2010 - 12:53:59 PM
The
result is a
100% biodegradable and
compostable product
.This means that
at the end of its life cycle it
converts into
organic matter and is returned in its entirety
to the biosphere; closing the loop.
To reinforce
this concept,
the rain coat has a
small clay ball with seeds
integrated into it
,
developed by a Japanese microbiologist.
This way the wearer can plant the raincoat
when it’s
no longer needed. The "spudcoat" doesn’t
just return
entirely to the natural cycle, it also helps the
seeds
inside grow into plants.
On the other hand,
through the same
product and its printed information,
the rain coat also
teaches consumers about this type of
biodegradable plastic
material, as well as its
possible uses and the importance of knowing
how to recognize
and differentiate between others that are not.
It also aims
to demonstrate the importance of sustainable
development. PS-Magazine.com and MerlianNews.com |
This
raincoat or waterproof cloak is made entirely of bioplastic derived from potato
starch and other natural resources.
