Plastics are useful. They're used to help make lifesaving medical supplies, lightweight, fuel-efficient car parts, and insulation for our homes. But nearly half of all plastic produced goes towards single-use items such as bags, straws, utensils and takeout containers. As the waste piles up, there's a growing demand for alternatives.
There's a number of companies trying to develop cost-efficient and eco-friendly substitutes, from mushroom packaging to advanced fibers and plastic-free online shopping. But it may take serious legislative efforts to incentive adoption and slow the rise of the industry overall.
good luck
We should talk about masks! You think the straws are bad? The impact all of these masks are going to have on the environment? Apocalyptic! Time to say goodbye to masks.
The word ‘Alternatives’ used loosely here…like those cardboard straws that collapse after you take 2 sips! I’m all for sustainability but can we try find things that actually work, not produce things that are just props!
You got to support EternallyLiquid to save the ecosystem. Everyone will be personally and publically will be benefitted.
Let's quit referring to plastic bags as single use items. They get multiple uses for me and just about everyone I know. And they are also recyclable.
Why aren't we using more plastics in roadways? Honestly, if its chemically treated its not very different from bitumen and has some characteristics that make it more desirable and longer lasting. Way better / cheaper than a landfill.
Yeah paper
Think you need to watch seaspiracy to learn it’s not single use plastics but fishing causing the majority of our plastic waste in the ocean.

I like the part where she said we need to close the tap🚰 . To Stop🛑licensing new Petrochemical building sites, etc.,but encourage new licensing of conversion into recycling Petrochemicals🏭. To be part of the SOLUTION and not by adding to the growing problem of the century.

We need a company that makes plastic also fund a clean up of their mess!
thank you very much for your work
Packaging essential, but we need something biodegradable, you cannot clean most items ✌️
did you see where they made bricks out of plastic and built a house with them. what a great idea. there is enough plastic in the world to make houses for everybody on this planet and realitivly cheaply too
Need some public companies tho.
a few decades ago, we were told plastic bags would save the trees and plastic bottles were better and safer than glass bottles.
Why aren't they public yet? They must be merging with a SPAC soon. I'd buy them. By the way, the company is Footprint.
Long past about time!! Progress seems to encourage laziness-profiteering with no effort or thoughts towards long term consequences. What dumb creatures we are really... all brain, sex and buck oriented mainly.
This is why I am investing in $GME. They encourage you not to throw your old games but bring it back. Evil Hedge Funds don’t want green future. Just greens in their bank account to buy bigger houses then they need.

Jim Cramer is a criminal. The OG 'alternative facts' spewer.
Ahem👇
Is anyone really relying on this guy for any advice let alone science?
12 million tons of plastic enter the ocean every year. Companies can help to reverse this.
Wouldn't it have been amazing if we had a President who worked with companies to find ways to optimize sustainability instead of ignoring the real problem in favor of fake ones (e.g. Brown man bad)?

For reference, this is one metric ton:
Reduce plastic ...
There is so much plastic thrown already in to the nature that it will have colossal impact on health of our next generations! & solution is more knowledge & awareness in our society. Political wellness & action.
Most of the plastic that ends of in the ocean ends of their from US recycling bins that are shipped to SouthEast Asia. If we disposed of our plastics in regular trash - the oceans would be cleaner - but never let the facts or the truth get in the way of a liberal message.

Also why it's silly to blame people for not recycling - it's the companies that push this stuff. Also - virtually no plastic is recycled, it just gets shipped overseas.

Trumps White hair Marie Antoinette syndrome refers to a situation where someone's hair suddenly turns white (canities). The name of this condition comes from folklore about the French queen Marie Antoinette, whose hair supposedly turned white suddenly before her execution in 1793
Remember the 'throw-away' society? Reuse stuff, people!
STOP WATCHING THIS CLOWN !
I remember when democrats made us get rid of paper bags , made us switch to plastic because the rain forest 🌳 LMFAO , NOW WHAT ? Fuk democrats!
We need an alternative for packaging, biodegradable 👍
Remember when paper was bad? Lol
Some basically we efficiently made calories cheap and easily accessible; now we have a fat lazy society.
This video mentions interesting things: fibers fascinate me. I think it is so underdeveloped as an innovation area. Containers and bags shaped from plant fibers can also be used after fermentation to make pellets for cooking. the list could go on. very interesting stuff.

It really has gotten soooooo out of hand in single use plastic, absolutkey eco friendly degrading plastics need to be a thing, to just certainly banning some. It's a business though, and the businesses should really start looking at alternatives
How about hemp?

Put this in your environmental pipe and smoke it.
It's much more frightening than that. What can you buy if you recycle all the plastic in the ocean? Apple, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Walmart, Exxon, GM, AT&T, Facebook, Bank of America, Visa, Intel, HSBC, Boeing, Citigroup & all the NFL & MLB teams.
and the biggest problem remains that regardless of whatever we use for packaging, PEOPLE are irresponsible with it. Punish the litterbugs NOT the packaging companies They do it in Singapore and look how clean their streets are.
Easy solution to a lot of plastic waste ,realDonaldTrump needs to put an executive order banning virgin plastic in home building products and ban LVT products as they go straight into the dump every few years .
I grow up abused and learned to protect myself
Clean it up
For a moment, please, who told you to put plastic in the ocean? The world is fine, the forests are unspoilt and the seas are as well Do not fish in troubled water for political reasons ؛)
Do you know how disturbing this is just bcoz the Mafia bought a child they feel they can say and do what ever with no repacutions
Consumers need to start buying fewer plastics. Companies will go where the money is. Buy a can of Arizona tea instead of a plastic soda bottle
That's like a bunch of grown man and woman throwing around a baby across the room and hoping they can do it again as long as that the baby don't get brain damage after they dropped him many times

There is plenty of alternatives being found but until then there’s a great company in WasteManagement that does a great job in managing waste.
A lot of restaurants went to plastic for indoor dining.
China stopped taking our waste. The Philippine doesn’t want it either. Technology is the only answer, I guess.
What kind of energy, are you using when making these alternatives? I might have missed that part. Oh, got it. :)

We keep hearing about this, but nothing ever seems to come of it. Plastic waste is a huge problem all over the world.
Reusable glass water bottles from my water store, microbial tests perfect every time. Very few believed it. How could possibly be as safe as the stuff sitting in plastic bottles at the store. Branding. They hire me when they fail lab tests. Seriously
Next up: Trumpkins stage protests about how not being able to use plastic violates their freedom.
I'd think it would seem easier to just find new ways to recycle plastic instead of trying to find an alternative to something. Plastic is incredibly convenient and cheap to produce.

Every week my 96 gallon trash container was filled to the brim. Then at 62, I decided to recycle and ordered a recycle bin. I discovered at the end of the week I could fit my 'trash' into a couple of 15 gallon bags from the kitchen. The recycle bin is full. Eye opener.
