Do you know of any girls in 4th or 5th year of school who might be interested in getting a feel for technology? This is a great opportunity, so let them know! @WITSIreland @irelandggd @itcarlow @ComputingITC

Answer 1: This is a bio-plastic bottle. Its compostable but will only biodegrade under certain very specific conditions. If there is no municipal collection and composting infrastructure in place (the UK doesn't not have this) then it is plastic waste. eg https://t.co/53W57U2BCh

More General Point: There is no such thing as an environmentally sustainable material, only an environmentally sustainable system. We dont have a collection and processing system for biodegradable plastics in the UK. Until we do they are not a sustainable solution.
