| Since the source material is cactus, which grows on nearby plantations, it is sustainable and has a locally sourced supply chain. It works for small productions, but there are limitations for its use in an industrial process. If a film company were to order fifty kilograms, we wouldn’t be able to fulfill the order because we don’t have the infrastructure to produce on that scale. So far, there is no investment in its development because producers are still skeptical of this new material, largely on account of its limitations. Nevertheless, scientist Sandra Pascoe, Ortiz, the filmmakers, and the university applied for a patent. | Since the source material is cactus, which grows on nearby plantations, it is sustainable and has a locally sourced supply chain.
