-July 5, 2013 (http://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/)

A 16-year-old girl from Istanbul, Turkey spent two years perfecting a plastic created from banana peels, substituting fruit waste for the typical petroleum base.  

On July 5, 2013, Elif Bilgin’s idea paid off when Scientific American named her the winner of its $50,000 Science in Action prize!Paid by Goole Science Fair for young inventors in California.    

She envisions using the bio-plastic in the making of  One benefit is the reduction of the amount of pollution caused. She was able to produce non-decaying bio-plastic (plastic made out of a living thing) using banana peels which can then be molded into daily uses such as the insulation of cables. 

“The method I designed is so simple, it is possible to say that one could actually do it at home,” writes Elif on her Google Science Fair page.
