# 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 () 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 7.
