  1. Stronger yet by astounding amounts coconut fiber !!! The stringy fivers on the outside of the coconut ! I suspect that bullet proof plastic you made with the addition of coconu fibers would be resistant to rifle rounds

  2. That is truly brilliant, however, I'm just thinking how the Oceans are in one heck of a state already, in no small part because of an immense load of throwaway plastic crud discarded by the fishing industry which people blithely support when they buy fish products, and everything else which is chucked away, therefore, if loads of people start harvesting a ton of seaweed it's likely going to be even worse for the overall health of the oceans.

    What about adding thick liquid corn starch to the hemp matting, and grinding up fruit peelings, such as orange and mango, and banana and coconut fibres to give it even more strength. If anyone's got a good kiln ready to go, give it a try 😉

  3. Hi this is facinating, i'm considering making artisinal products as you've said and would happily share any progress i've made. But first i'd like to know if it's viable. Is this watertight for short periods of time? i can't see from the video, Is it rigid and strong once cured? would multiple layers of matt bond to eachother during curing or would a second thicker glue like the one you made in the first video bond it as a secondary process?

  4. How to make a transparent plastic though? I have been following this for past few years (almost a decade now) and I want to make change and earn by making bio plastic which is completely degradable/decompostable in 4-5 yrs only and is easy and cheaper to make. If I could make transparent bottles out of it, I am highly interested in this.

  5. Thank you for this video. How does the dried panel hold up to the elements? Submersion in water, chemicals, sunbaking, etc.? It would be neat to measure force stresses like compression and tension compared to plastics to see industrially, where it falls on the scale.

  6. Over the years you’ve taught me so much, whenever I have an idea and search it on YouTube, you almost always have a video related to what I’m looking for and so much useful information that I just wouldn’t find anywhere else 🙌 Thank you for your service mate 👍 x

  7. I'm currently Interested in replicating this experiment for testing against water and salt water to see how it stands up to that, and for how long, as well as for UV Radiation exposure, to determine the breakdown timeline for composting applications. Any information along these lines as far as previous research already conducted or where to buy the supplies to reproduce the same outcome would be much appreciated. Google Search showed not what I was looking for.

  8. You can injection mold this actually if you make the hemp mat preformed then vacuum seal it and pull the resin into fully saturation the hemp you can make any shape as long as you place the mat in before
