Potatoes to PlasticsIn November 2006, the Maine Technology Institute awarded a Seed Grant to InterfaceFABRIC (formerly Guilford of Maine) to evaluate the feasibility of using Maine potatoes and other agricultural crops to meet the growing demand for PLA (polylactic acid) in the production of bio-based plastic products.
