This project is about the usage of the cellulose in banana peels to create a biodegradable plastic for a plastic pot. With the benefit of no longer needing to remove the plant from the pot once it starts to grow too big for the pot. In the pot it grew and direct to the ground it expands. The vinegar helps to further break down the fibers of the banana peels, the honey helps make it flexible, and the cinnamon as the preservative.
