RE: Aiming for Zero Waste Living
This would be the dream :) I wrote a paper mainly about different bio-composites materials and using plant based materials to replace plastics, and as we know it can be done and is possible, but it’s just slightly more expensive to manufacture as it’s not in mass production... and, well, the oil Corp etc that makes plastics etcetc....
I’m in China right now And it’s ridiculous with the plastic use. It seems like they have no idea about plastic waste or anything. What I hate back home in the uk (it’s getting better) is looking around in a supermarket and seeing plastic everything! Apples sat in plastic mold, wrapped in plastic, laminate sticker with polymer print, then put in a plastic bag etcetc.... it drives me crazy!
Yeah, why do fruits need to be in plastic... it's container crazy in some supermarkets :P
