Stop reading at..:
" Currently, the material shrinks while drying, making printing anything large out of it difficult.
“If you could avoid shrinkage, you could keep scaling up, maybe to the meter scale,” said MIT’s Abhinav Rao. “Then, if we were to dream big, we could replace a significant fraction of plastics with cellulose composites.”

So far all the ideas for plastic replacement are quite far away from reality including this one.
The others I knew so far are:
- DNA plastics https://sgtalk.net/Thread-Scientists-in-China-develop-sustainable-and-biodegradable-plastic-using-DNA?highlight=plastic
- seaweed https://sgtalk.net/Thread-Can-seaweed-help-solve-the-world-s-plastic-crisis?highlight=plastic
