Baking Vegan Slippers
In this video you can learn how to make slippers using ingredients that come from algae.
These ingredients, agar and alginate, are food grade, vegan and biodegradable.
The recipes still need a bit of fine tunning, as different ratios of the same ingredients alter the properties of these homemade bioplastics.
About their long term durability... I also don't know, we'll have to wait and see.

    Couldn't this be considered like a pva glue, especially if you stored it in a jar? When I peel my acrylic paint pours off plastic lids and such, it looks really similar, use pva glue as the pouring medium but am very interested in adding paint pigment to pva glue. homemade plastics and pva type glue is very interesting to me. hemp plastic and hops come to mind too.

      Difficult to say without seeing the object, but maybe you can try to introduce a bit of humidity (a tiny bit of water) in the parts that you want to fuse together? I remember seeing a comment somewhere suggesting that.

Recently I already experimented with agar agar to make some bioplastics, but seeing the texture you received by using alginate wants me to try this out as well. Doing some research, I wondered whether you use alginate or sodium alginate?

    hello there! Love your content so much! I was hoping to see you work with alginate for quite a while and im happy i finally get to see it! Im a textile designer working with alginate to create bio yarns and material for my masters dissertation project. I just wanted to ask about how long it took for these materials to dry, if alginate grew mold? I live in the UK where sunlight barely visits us, and so its hard to dry these materials. Thank you

    • @giestas
      @giestas Місяць тому

      I don't have much experience with alginate, but from what I can tell it's pretty awesome. I did this in the peak of summer in Portugal so one or two days was enough to dry (depending on the thickness of the layer). So far no mold!

      Pectin makes the bioplastic sturdier. You can make the films without it too, but they will be more flimsy and won't be able to handle more weight and will perform poorly in strength test.
