It may be possible several decades down the road, but not right now. This is an area where Canada can lead. Indeed, this currently a completely open area, and particularly, as for making any kind of bioplastic, Canada produces none. All of the bioplastics are produced on large scale in China, and a certain amount is produced in the U.S. and some in Europe, but nothing in Canada right now. In order to be a global leader, this is an opportunity to work on this area to find out, in particular, the monomers that are required to make plastics. We have different places where monomers can be synthesized and scaled up.
