        Hey Jess! I’m trying to invent ways of making completely new plastics out of plant waste! I can take chemicals we get from plants and do some experiments to make them into long chain molecules called polymers – that’s what makes up plastics!

        At the minute I’m trying to use chemicals from waste orange peel and pine trees! ??

        I hope that my plastics will be better for the planet than some of the plastics we use now!
