"This project should create new technology and jobs, expand opportunities for bio-based industries and agricultural suppliers, decrease our dependence on oil, strengthen the agricultural economy of Iowa, utilize ISU patented technology, provide new markets for farmers and marry new agricultural product development with sophisticated manufacturing skills and the knowledge to commercialize these projects."
The bioplastics have been developed and will be tested as a raw material for hi-tech hog feeders that use RFID technologies. The project was conducted with funding from the Grow Iowa Values Fund and in collaboration with AgVantage Inc. and R3 Composites.
See more details about bioplastics and the hog feeder project from the Iowa State University News Service .
