      Plant based polypropylene is, in industry called Bio PP. It’s made out of corn and sugarcane stalks and is partially responsible for inflated cattle feed prices, because we used to feed that garbage to cows.

        I thought when sugarcane is used for things like this or for biofuel, or papar it was after they juiced it?

        I guess they could also cut the kernels off the cob and then use the kernels for feed and use the cob for other things. When I buy corn kernels for animal feed (for chickens) it’s not on the cob.
