30.Lucy Hughes recently graduated from Sussex University in England.She knows how wasteful many products are.Plastic bags,for example,are often used once for a short time,and then thrown away.She made up her mind to challenge herself to create something out of waste instead.She spent some time studying the fishing business,and the things that were thrown away.After some tests,Lucy found that the fish skin(皮) and scales(鱗)seemed like the most probable parts for her product.She tried over 100 different tests before finding something to mix the materials together.She called it"Marina Tex".This product is clear and feels like plastic,but it's stronger than plastic that is the same thickness.Marina Tex is also cheap to make since it's made from fish waste.Most importantly,Marina Tex breaks down(分解) in less than six weeks because it is made of natural materials. As a creative designer,Lucy is looking forward to moving ahead with her idea.She wants to try to make her product even better.
