Plastic Made of Potatoes

Yes, plastic made of potatoes is a thing. And that’s what we’re talking about in this episode of the Sustainability Champions podcast!

All sectors within the design industry are under growing pressure to find ways to become more sustainable with the products they produce. As consumers demand companies to shift to more sustainable practices, companies are looking for better options, especially around the way plastics are used and recycled. Today’s guest presents another solution that fits perfectly into the circular economy and involves some interesting source materials.

In this episode of Sustainability Champions, I speak with Rob Nicoll, Co-Founder and CMO at Chip[s] Board and Champion of Potato Plastics.

Chip[s] Board creates bio-plastics out of waste from the potato industry. They make durable plastic that is biodegradable and recyclable post-use. Currently, their plastic is used to produce glasses and other fashion items. The name of their game really is sustainability because they’re aiming to become Cradle to Cradle Certified, which means their production is truly 100% circular economy.

Listen to the episode if you’d like to learn about how Chip[s] Board turns literally tons of potato peels into plastic that other companies use to create sustainable products.
