What if we told you that you could turn milk into plastic — right at home? 🧪🥛

In this short video, Maynard Okereke walks you through a fun, science-based DIY to create bioplastic using simple ingredients like milk, vinegar, and baking soda. With 98% of single-use plastics made from fossil fuels, this eco-friendly hack shows how bioplastics could help reduce plastic waste and dependence on petroleum. You’ll learn how the casein protein in milk reacts to vinegar, and how this reaction has actually been used since the early 1900s to make buttons and other everyday items!
