TIME FOR A GREENER CHOICE

Conventional Plastics vs. Bioplastics

Plastics are widely used in everyday life, but traditional plastics, made from fossil fuels, take hundreds of years to decompose, leading to serious pollution.

Bioplastics offer a greener alternative as they are made from renewable sources like plants. Some bioplastics break down faster, helping to reduce waste. However, they also face challenges, including higher production costs and limited biodegradability under certain conditions.

This comparison explores the differences, benefits, and challenges of both types to determine if bioplastics can be a better solution for the future. For more details, check out the link below.

Global Warming Potential (GWP) Impacts

Global warming is the rise in Earth’s temperature caused by human activities like burning fossil fuels, cutting down trees and using conventional plastic waste. This releases gases that trap heat, leading to hotter temperatures, more extreme weather, and rising sea levels. To fight global warming, we need to reduce pollution, use cleaner energy, and make eco-friendly choices like using bioplastics.
