In 2019 alone, plastic produced 1.8 billion tonnes of GHGs! The story doesn't end here, this plastic, while deteriorating, turns into microplastics, which transports through the air to remote regions, such as the arctic, absorb light, and cause warming. Compostable plastic is an excellent alternative, at least for single-use plastic, as it biodegrades within months if provided the correct conditions, and neither uses as much energy nor releases as many emissions as conventional plastic does. Studies show that if we shift completely to compostable plastic made from renewable sources, the greenhouse gases (GHGs) associated with the plastic industry will go down to zero.
