With all the buzz about biopolymers, and all the rants about antiquated polymeric technology around here... who is doing anything to promote the eco_logical next steps? 

If anyone else is interested in local biopolymer proliferation, research, and collaboration please post up.   It would be great to piece together a perspective of local biopolymer scene.   This is after all the polymer belt and I cant be the only one wondering how I can thermoset an idea I have out of locally developed biopolymers. 

If you have any scoop, dish, intel, recon etc. regarding the local biopolymer scene ;-)  feel free to share it... lets see what happens.

ps - I hear Michigian is rocking and rolling on this already using indiginous flora as a key ingredient.  We are either leaders or followers.
