Episode description

When we make paper products, there are heaps of a byproduct called lignin, which is typically burned. This pod’s guest, Christopher Carrick, developed a way to make plastic from lignin and started a company RenCom to bring the technology to the market. That plastic would be derived from tree material and is likely biodegradable.
