Makigami -

Makigami, I believe can be the wave of the future. This gentleman discovered a way to make art with tightly rolled paper that is soaked in a solution of warm water. It becomes pliable and can be used in many forms. What began as an art project has exciting possibilities. He has already made disposable pens. He envisions that:

Applications for this new material are not limited to disposable pens. Virtually any product can be made either entirely from Makigami, or with some parts made from it. Possible future Makigami products include auto parts, aviation parts, marine parts, indoor furniture, sports equipment, children’s toys, toothbrushes, hairbrushes, mop, broom and other handles, and many more.

I too am excited for the possibilities. This "material" biodegrades in 3 months. It isn't harmful to animals - or children for that matter. It uses recycled paper. It would be incredibly inexpensive to produce. A winner on all fronts!

Easy peasy lemon squeezy!
