Who We Are

.

Simone Pinto

Hello, I'm Simone, I am 18 years old and after 12th grade, I want to go to college and study biochemistry.

I was the one who had the idea of making bioplastics. I haven't done anything like it until now it was a very challenging project but I am very proud of it.

I must say that in my opinion, our future will depend on these new forms of plastic.

André Lemos

Hi, there this is André, after high-school, I want to take a degree in biology.

I joined this group when Simone pitched me the idea for making bioplastics, although I was doubtful at first, we, as you are going to see, made bioplastics and not just that, we did whole chess set out of it

At first, I thought that this type of reaction would be too complicated for us to replicate, it ended up being surprisingly easy.

João Silva

Hey, I'm João Silva, I have 19 years of life, I'm an introverted dude with a lot of mental issues.

I joined Simone's project because I was seriously interested in bioplastics, also my first term presentation did not go well, so having a friend help me meant a lot.

I believe this project (bioplastics) can go to a lot of places, depending on what we use the bioplastic

Duarte Minhoto

I was approached by Simone and she was the one that informed me about her project idea and I felt like it was a great idea and joined the group in the second term, the journey from the idea to the end result is something that I really am happy for, and I’m happy to have taken part of this journey.
