A full "how to" will follow within the week. It's also very important to note this is the outcome of collaborative process, so collective props are due, especially to Christopher Doering (https://www.xing.com/profile/Christopher_Doering) who made the material, and created the recipe. We will be running a workshop on how to make a bioplastic wallet at www.opendesigncity.de/ on Thursday 20th at 7.00 pm details of how to get involved will follow, along with how to order a custom made product should you wish. In answer to water based questions - don't put it in the bath. If it gets splashed it's ok, but will totally dissolve in hot water. Product is continually in Beta, and was just a demonstration of material use, evolutions will follow soon.

The link just goes to a photograph, and the link under that just goes to the hackspace page, which doesn't actually provide any more info (as far as I can see). I'd be really interested to know how the bioplastic was made. The "previously on Boing Boing" article on making it made it sound like the process wasn't yet that stable, but this final produce looks very stable. Is there any info on how this was actually made?
