We are very glad to inform that we are able to use natural ruber as matrix and natural fiber coconut coir to make felxible plastic products. In this regrad our group list member from Malyasia Manick Harris has helped us a lot. We also able to make regid plastic fiberglass reinforced poliester using natural fiber cashew net shell liquid replacing 40 porcent of poliester and 100 porcent fiberglass and we hope this process can also work with Hemp . Our small research group is very thankful to Keith and our list members who are able to give us the useful information.
Thanking you

And if they could make the plastic out of hemp, it would really reduce the need for oil when they get mass-produced. Would lower COP, make them more sustainable, renewable and biodegradable.
I am sitting here at my desk wondering why my TI calculator has a solar brick of 4 cells and my cell phone does not...
Most grocery bags are #4 LDPE. That's low density polyethylene, which is a cheap plastic.
