World's first biodegradable corn



Not contented with recyclable products, Hong Kong based Hoshino is going green by constructing thumb drives made out of Polylactic acid (PLA), derived from corn starch thus making it biodegradable.

Unlike your usual corn though, it needs to be blasted with heat for ten whole days at its own specialized facility to break its particles down.

Heck, even popping corns are conveniently more biodegradable by swallowing it.
