Take That, Plastic!

Came across a design article today about liquid wood as an alternative to traditional polymer materials in household use. Seems like a good idea, very renewable, recycled resource. Of course, reading one article doesnt an expert make, so I'm sure there must be factors to take into consideration: one mentioned is the sulphur content in the current material (called arboform). It may be worth noting that this is something so new (to people outside of the industry) that it doesnt have its own Wikipedia page yet... (how's that for an information benchmark?)

Things I would like to have made from arboform:
-alarm clock
-cutlery
-telephone
-toothbrushes
