For several years, both citizens and governments have been aware of the serious problems caused by plastic pollution on our planet. Proposals have been made for society to replace some of the products we acquire with biodegradable disposables. The goal is simple: improve our environment by consuming products that do not pollute.
The answer to how we can achieve this is simpler than you think. If you want to know more, keep reading and discover why our revolutionary material, Policanoico®, is the ideal solution for your industry.
Let’s start by saying that in 1860, a contest was held in the United States to find a suitable material to make billiard balls. That year, John Wesley Hyatt emerged as the winner, presenting celluloid, considered the first reference to plastic. Later, in 1907, Leo Baekeland invented Bakelite, a moldable material that became thermosetting when cooled—our first encounter with the marvelous, or perhaps not so marvelous, plastic. Decades passed, more research was conducted, products made from polymers with different chemical and physical properties were developed, and then we realized that this wonderful material was harming the planet.
What do we mean? Is plastic really that bad?
Statistics report that each year, increasing amounts of plastics reach the oceans, causing the death of flora and fauna. The projections for the future are alarming, prompting the implementation of different strategies to minimize the impact of plastic on our lives.
For instance, a couple of years ago, Mexico City banned the commercialization, distribution, and delivery of various disposables, including bags, straws, plastic cutlery, coffee capsules, disposable plates, and cups.
This led many companies to realize that producing a product that is 100% environmentally friendly is no easy task, especially considering some materials claiming to be eco-friendly are not. It might seem discouraging, right? Wait! At Green Team®, we do have a solution to these problems, and we can help you produce your biodegradable disposables without any complications.
