Each and everyone one of us have and are still adding one drop at a time to this vast ocean of environmental disaster! One drop, every small action which seams inconsequential really, do slowly add up.  Given the serious, widespread and long-lasting effects of our actions on the planet, any discussion on eco issues necessitates looking at not just 2020 but beyond.

Does recycling help the environment or are we just going around in circles?
One of the original goals of the recycling movement was to avert a supposed crisis as the nation’s landfills were running out of space and to reduce carbon emissions and the greenhouse gases as we reduce the need to manufacture new products, hence less mining, drilling and logging.  But because more and more materials types have been added to the recyclable list, the process has become more complex and expensive than expected. In addition, recycling, especially of  plastic waste  mitigates carbon impacts only to a limited extent.

I am a RECYCLE BIN. 
I am not GARBAGE, but might as well be!

No doubt, recycling helps the environment, if done correctly and the momentum is maintained.  The reality is that the survival of the recycling movement depends on continual subsidies, sermons and policing.

So the question that begs for an answer is:
Recycling or biodegrading or composting, which is the best current option?

 

By the year 2050, the world’s oceans will contain more plastic waste than fish – ton for ton. This speaks volumes of the food and beverage industry and the urgent need to reduce the single-use plastic food packaging. One way in which  food and beverage providers can effectively reduce their contribution to plastic waste is by using plant-based food packaging that are easily compostable and degradable and thus does not leave nasty footprints behind unlike plastic packaging.
