If you are interested in making potato plastics or glue from milk, the recipes are on our website π§ͺπ¬π₯ They're fun experiments for teaching about sustainability, use food safe ingredients and can be done easily in a kitchen! #chemtwitter #realtimechem

Today is my last day at @GreenChemYork. These 3 years working on @CHAMPION_BBI seem to have gone by very quickly and I'm sad to say goodbye to everyone here. But I also can't wait to start working at @CrodaPlc in October! Thanks to everyone at the GCCE and see you soon π
