Examples:
Paper - Friendly to the environment
- Recyclable; Reusable
- Can be damaged from moisture
- Less durable than plastics
Cardboard - Friendly to the environment
- Recyclable; Reusable
- Bulky, and not very flexible
- Uses a lot of water for production
Why they are needed:
To minimize harm to the environment
To avoid or lessen too much use and dependence on plastic
today
Polylactic Acid (PLA)
About PLA:
Made from biomass
Biodegradable
Friendly to the environment
Versatile
Can be moulded
e.g. shrink wrap, plastic film
