Due to the fact that this new plastic is made out of wood, I am curious to what extent it behaves as wood when burned. Will it melt, or will it go straight to combustion. In the case that it does burn, will it burn as clean as wood, or does it generate harmful gasses?
- anamax 18y agoBurning wood gives off harmful gases (other than CO and CO2 and H2O). Never confuse "natural" with healthy. Arsenic (for example) is natural. So is smallpox.
- johngunderman 18y agoVery true. However, burning wood is certainly less polluting than burning plastic.
