I've made some significant progress on the biopolymer front! I've successfully "crosslinked" gelatin, making it thermally stable at 100⁰C and higher, and also less soluble in water! Here's a few clips showing some successes and failures. I am soooo close! v.redd.it/6h9yotzr6l881

I make significant steps on the biopolymer front but I feel like I'm still so far away. At least the crayfish likes my progress. I will need all your help soon once I find a decent set of steps to work with crosslinked gelatin. v.redd.it/p3xvktb2hk981

30 days without seeing β€œ Superior Biopolymers β€œ in the stores just when I need 3 of them

30 F days despite 4 cores refreshes a day!!!!!!! Just when I need 3 of them to enter the legendary nodes of DD4, I understand the artificial scarcity to frustrate the players so they buy what they need, but come on man. 30 days waiting for an item to show in the war store is just ABSURD. You are not frustrating your players, you are pushing your players to quitting.

Improved cooking process for the biopolymer has eliminated all the air bubbles. I just need to field test this batch now and see how they hold up in water (and a hot car). reddit.com/gallery/p3fhqj

Fluoride ion bioaccumulation and biopolymer production

Hi. I am a junior ChemEng and we are starting our first iGEM team for uni. Fluoride in groundwater is a huge issue in my state and ro plants are not feasible in rural areas. I was considering a fluoride bioaccumulation (check iGEM 2017 east chapel team) and converting that fluoride into a chemical feedstock (fluoroacetate) which can be then used for biofluoropolymer production. Can anyone suggest any changes to the plan or whether it is too difficult for a bunch of inexperienced noobs to do? We haven't been able to go to wetlab till now so have no experience. Is the idea even feasible? Thanks from India.

SECOS (ASX: $SES) is looking to accelerate growth as shift to bioplastics increases, China bans single use plastic bags. Recycling is not the solution –Biopolymers are the solution

SECOS Group Limited (ASX: $SES) is a leading developer and manufacturer of sustainable packaging materials. The company supplies its proprietary biodegradable and compostable resins, packaging products and high-quality cast films to a blue-chip global customer base. SECOS Group is integrated from resin production, into film (cast and blown) production and can develop bespoke compostable solutions for a range of applications.

SECOS holds a strong patent portfolio and the global trend toward sustainable packaging is fueling the Company’s growth.

In July 2021 the company announced an investment of $2 million over three years to develop a world class Research and Development (R&D) Centre in Australia to support growing demand for bio-based resin, film, and products. Projects will include developing compostable film in mono and multi-layer forms as well as bringing enhanced certified compostable resins and bags to market.

In August 2021 the company reported AUD $30 million worth of revenue across FY21, a 43 per cent increase year on year, along with $5.7 million in gross profits β€” a 54.8 per cent increase.

Secos has a fully vertically integrated production capacity from raw materials to finished product This provides the company with cost and supply chain efficiencies, and flexibility in best utilising production capacity At each stage Secos can sell globally to converters or use internally to create & sell end product, either resin film or bags.

I think I have the a half decent edible biopolymer recipe figured out. It's tear resistant, has the right feel, the right action, shoots in a mould well, won't melt in my hand, holds up in water, has a the right fall rate... Made entirely from kitchen ingredients. Back on the water for more tests.

Biopolymer recipe available to the public now

It took a while with a single cavity mold, but I shot 16 baits with 1/2 a batch.

I've been holding off releasing this until I was entirely satisfied with my own results, but I've come to realize that the community would likely move this along a lot faster than I can on my own. So I've released what I've got so far under Creative Commons Zero v1.0 Universal License. It's not perfect, but I've been using the baits and am pleased with their action, durability and cost.

If you're interested in contributing, or just shooting your own biodegradable baits with a low cost, non-toxic, material, please head over to github and check out the recipe: https://github.com/seyDoggy/biopolymer-recipe

The biopolymer field test. I managed to get out in the kayak yesterday afternoon and throw this bait around. It performed better than I could have hoped and lasted for a couple of hours on two bodies of water until a snag on a rock tore it in two. Exactly the scenario I designed this bait for. v.redd.it/5mbie99ugko61

I've spent weeks trying to perfect a biodegradable, edible biopolymer that a) doesn't dissolve in water for a couple of hours/days and b) won't melt in a tackle bag on a warm day. I think I'm pretty close, so I made a rough open-pour mold from epoxy, and poured up some samples for field testing. reddit.com/gallery/lzi0fw

Landfilled Biopolymers

Hello Reddit,

I was curious to know if anyone had any ideas about the disposal of biopolymer material.

Some of the problems associated with landfilled biopolymers are the generation of methane, an increased level of eutrophication, eco-toxicity and production of human carcinogens. So my question is:

Does biopolymer need to be disposed via landfill? If so, how do we do so in a way that has no negative impact on the environment? And if not, what are other ways it can be disposed/be sustained?

What's the best way to share and collaborate on the biopolymer recipe?

I was thinking github (I'm a software engineering, so that made sense to me), but then I realized that there might be better ways to collaborate for non-engineers.

I did more fields tests today after shooting another 16 baits or so, but I wasn't completely happy with the results. I managed to use just one bait over the course of 4 hours, but the flappers fell off in the first 20 minutes. I was effectively left with a ned rig after that. So I'd like to make more modifications to the recipe.

But with that said I don't know how much more progress I'm going to make on my own, so I might as well just put the recipe out there and have all of us sort it out together.

So thoughts?
