Green Dot Bioplastics’ Kevin Ireland explains why there is still vast room for growth.
Bioplastics will be a major component in the New Plastic Economy. For plastics to thrive without harmful waste and negative environmental impact, a switch from a linear economy to circular economy is paramount.
The Ellen MacArthur Foundation released a comprehensive report in 2017 aimed at rethinking plastics role in our future, and new research earlier this year aimed at providing tangible actions for stimulating change.
Through a switch in fundamental practices and goals, the plastics industry can have a prominent role in reshaping the manufacturing and use of goods throughout the world.[/fusion_text][fusion_button link=”https://waste-management-world.com/a/guest-blog-the-role-of-bioplastics-in-the-new-plastic-economy?utm_source=Waste+Management+World&utm_campaign=8c4cacd02f-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_07_18&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_ce30fc7bcc-8c4cacd02f-111287801″ color=”default” size=”” stretch=”” type=”” shape=”” target=”_blank” title=”” gradient_colors=”|” gradient_hover_colors=”|” accent_color=”” accent_hover_color=”” bevel_color=”” border_width=”1px” icon=”” icon_position=”left” icon_divider=”no” modal=”” animation_type=”0″ animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”1″ animation_offset=”” alignment=”” class=”” id=””]Read full article[/fusion_button][/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]
