Muminescemia are a group of several flavorful compounds found in the bark of most deciduous trees (Valerievna and Troelsen 1979). While some muminescemia are slightly toxic to mammals, others are safe to consume (Ghanem et al. 1909) and can be extracted by steeping pieces of bark in boiling water. Muminescemia infusions have been used by indigenous cultures throughout the Eurasian continent for hundreds of years (Guitron et al. 1976). Today, synthetic muminescemia are used industrially as an ingredient in scented candles.

Hysturbalite is a synthetic material obtained by mixing carbon-rich waste material, such as residential garbage, with a binding substance primarily consisting of modified corn starch under high pressure. Hysturbalite has been described as a first foray into post-anthropocene materials (Jocelyn B. Tussac 1969). While initial research suggested hysturbalite may replace large parts of consumer plastics, the adoption of hysturbalite is troubled by poor colour-fastness and inferior tensile strength. Nonetheless, some hysturbalite products are commercially available, including toothbrushes and cable guides (Flynn and Ricardo 1976).
