A Greener cup for your Coffee
I was reading The Trend in Engineering that UW Engineering dept sent me in the mail...
I came across an article about one of my professors Vipin Kumar and his development of a mircocellular plastic that is 80% air, made of 100% recycled materials(soda pop bottles), is 100% recyclable, and insulates to 350 deg F.
Move over styrofoam!

I love to hear and learn about great things that are be research and created at UW.

The grad students won several business plan competitions and put their winnings back into their research to start their company MicroGREEN.

Cool stuff!
