People who use flypaper are using a disposable product that gets thrown out.

That's fundamentally different from "your bed or luggage now works like flypaper."

No, it's not?

Bedbugpaper can be just as disposable.

Yes, but bedbugpaper is not at all what you described.

It is, you would usually want to have this user replacable/washable (that's why I said less maintenance than plants, not no maintenance). Although e.g. during construction it might make sense to install it even permanently.

Anyway, my only point is that there might be possible applications where this technology fits better than the bean plants suggested by seu.

seu still has a good point. That there are mechanisms (like companies making more money via cheaper production/handling when scaling, or catering to careless customers) that lead us to use artificial products doesn't always (or even often?) mean that it's the better solution for us as a whole, long term. Because the drawbacks of artificial solutions may show up in places that the producers or consumers don't feel.

That's sometimes a good point. Doesn't seem to be a good point here unless you live next to a bean farmer. Coming up with a biomimicking synthetic makes plenty of sense in this instance.
