COTABATO CITY – Ahmed Turabin Hataman took the bronze medal in the 8th annual International Sustainable World Energy Engineering and Environment Project Olympiad (I-SWEEP) in Houston, Texas on Sunday.
Hataman was third among 426 finalists from 71 countries for his biodegradable plastic invention.
Unlike other plastics, Hataman’s coconut-made plastic biodegrades in 20 days. This invention also won for Hataman the gold medal in last year’s International Young Inventors Olympiad in the USA.
Ahmed Hataman, who is better known as Amin, is son of ARMM Governor Mujiv Hataman and Rep. Sitti Djalia Turabin Hataman.
The congresswoman said this is one of the best Mother’s Day gifts she has received from her eldest.
