A New Use for an Old Problem + a New Technology in BioPlastics

It seems that people are slowly but surely beginning to understand the terrible impact our actions can have on earth.

And one of the biggest and most environmentally harmful human marks we have made is with plastic. From plastic bags to straws, single-use plastic is one of the biggest causes of pollution in our oceans and soil. While there are plenty of ways you can reduce plastic in your daily life, there is a need for a bigger change, that involves changing the linear economy to a circular economy, and some companies are finally taking action.

Recently, Mexican company BioFase released single-use cutlery and straws that biodegrade in 240 days.

And. It smashes the usual high cost of bioplastics production.
