Sustainable plastics are materials designed to minimize environmental impact throughout their lifecycle. They can be made from renewable resources, such as corn or sugarcane, or be biodegradable, breaking down more easily in natural environments. This approach aims to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and decrease plastic waste in landfills and oceans. These plastics can also be recycled more efficiently than traditional plastics, promoting a circular economy. Innovations in sustainable plastics include bioplastics and recycled plastics, which help reduce pollution and conserve resources. By using sustainable plastics, industries can contribute to a healthier planet while still meeting consumer needs.
