The Department of the Interior plans to phase out the sale of single-use plastic products and packaging in national parks by 2032, and is looking at alternatives such as compostable or biodegradable materials, or 100 percent recycled materials. Meanwhile, Sustainable Plastics Editor Karen Laird takes a deep dive into the advantages and disadvantages of bio-based plastics.
Laird’s presentation was included in the June Sustainable Plastics Live.
