Finding nature-based alternatives to plastics

Quick Summary:

As plastic wastes continue to choke the planet, various stakeholders are now looking for viable solution to the problem—from environment-friendly technology to alternative materials to plastics—particularly in packaging of various products, including food.

Rei Panaligan, EcoWaste Coalition’s point person for the Plastic-Free Pilipinas project on nature-based alternatives to plastic packaging, said the project aims to address plastic pollution.

As a result, although remaining an option, the use of banana leaves for sustainable packaging is considered impractical.“Other countries are already processing these materials which can be alternatives to plastics,” he said.
