The Plantable Potato Raincoat is Educational & Eco-Friendly
Biodegradable Rain Gear - The Plantable Potato Raincoat is Educational & Eco-Friendly (GALLERY) 2

Equilicuá has created a raincoat that is so eco-friendly, you can plant it when you’re done with it. The Plantable Raincoat is made out of bioplastics, which are made from potato starch. The potato raincoat is entirely biodegradable and compost friendly!

The design by Equilicuá reads “I was a Potato” on the front of the coat, and also has info printed on it that explains how a potato turned into a coat. Even better, the raincoat has seeds inside of it so that when it is composted, plants will grow.

Incredible! I always pictured biodegradable products as being flimsy, but between this raincoat and some of the reusable plates we've featured, bioplastics are pretty strong!

Brilliant idea! I wish the jacket actually said "I am a Spud Raincoat" on it!
