Stop in for a cup of coffee

My one and only jury duty service was a federal lawsuit involving patent infringements on a corn starch based plastic. I didn't even know the technology existed at the time in the mid 90s. It was fascinating. To make matters better, federal jury duty pays quite handsomely :lol:. If that technology is in use in the US, it maintains a very low profile.
It is in the US and they just don’t make a big deal about it. We use plastics made using that technology all the time in my profession. In fact, some of the “green” disposable water bottles being sold currently use it too.

Case in point, the Dasani Plant Bottle uses 30% corn based plastic for their water bottles.
