Single use plastic containers and cutlery to be phased out
The Hobart City Council in Tasmania has agreed to draft legislation that would phase out single-use plastic containers and cutlery by 2020. Instead of using plastic containers for home delivery and takeout, restaurants in the city of 220,000 would have to use ones made from cardboard, cornstarch or bamboo that could be composted. The move follows Tasmania?s ban on thin plastic bags in 2013. (Thicker retail bags are still allowed.) https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/08/09/world/australia/plastic-tasmania-hobart.html?

A smart machine to make your favourite beer
A?one-stop-shop where craft beer enthusiasts can simply brew beers without having to be a master brewer. While most beer brewing machines have their body, kegs, and some variable components that require a steep learning curve to be mastered, it combines both the "Brewing Tank" and the "Fermentation Tank" into one machine. Through the LCD screen, tank window, and the app, you can program, monitor, and create a brewing experience in your own kitchen. http://www.igulu.com/
