These plates will also help reduce the amount of
plastic we create. Waste from plastic causes a lot
of damage to the environment, as well as costing
governments millions in
waste management.
Plastic bags often
end up
in
landfill sites
or on the
street. And
incineration
of plastic waste causes
toxic gases that pollute the air.
In response to this, governments around the world
are introducing
tough
recycling regulations. And
many shops are offering biodegradable plastic
bags and eco-safe packaging on their products.
To help matters, the International Organisation
for Standardization (the ISO) has also developed
a system to evaluate the biodegradability of
products, with a certification and logo scheme.
Meanwhile, how about a nice plate for lunch?
