# Potential Uses

The bioplastic that I have developed is water-based, so unfortunately it shrinks, so it cannot be set and cast. There are still some potential uses for it, like films. And since it is (theoretically) a thermoplastic, you should be able to melt it and then cast it again without shrinkage occurring. With all being said, I have compiled a list of potential uses for bioplastic, along with my discovered properties.

**Uses:**

1. Bean bag fillers
2. Freezer bags
3. Bags
4. Anything that thin plastic can be used in
5. Email me (<charlienicholsonr@gmail.com>) if you have any more suggestions!

**Properties:**

1. Somewhat fireproof
2. A little amount of waterproofness
3. Can be frozen
4. Thermoplastic
5. Shrinks when dries
6. Some types become Play-Doh when heated, and then set again
