In the meanwhile, the waste generation climb as the result of product cost reduction.
Plastic is one of the most important invention by human history. It is durable, low cost compare with traditional products and becomes widely used in our lives. It brings benefit to us in the same time it causes the problems to our society. Plastic is noticeable to its durability, but also It is difficult to decompose and not even biodegradable.
Many countries have been dedicating in reducing plastic waste impacting to our planet by implementing regulations, applying higher taxes, and spreading media educating programs introducing the affect of plastic to our living. Beside that, many companies are also seeking ways to reduce its impact by seeking replacement, changing materials input on production line, improve recycling process with advanced equipment, and waste conversion to valuable energies and products.
Replacements are simple and strait forward means. Among that natural product replacement is always the best way to reduce source of waste. It is environmental friendly, micro degradable and decomposed by time. With long term relationship with many manufactures in the world we have found usable sources for the replacement of plastic composite product such as straw, box, bag, bottles and some one time used products as bowl, plat and spoons.
