https://www.dezeen.com/2022/12/13/checkerspot-algae-plastics-prototype-kit/ OK I want this, have no need for it but I feel that I need to mould everything possible out of algae. Although seriously this could be a great test. Could be great for up-cycling damaged timber on table tops. Filling in body parts? Of course replanting moulded plastic in many many designs.
