A Happy New Year it already is, it's great to see governments moving forward against harmful packaging.
The U.S. is focusing on broadening national ban on expanded polystyrene products, bill "Polystyrene Food Service and Loose Fill Packaging Prohibition Amendment of 2019", is
expected to pass in July 31st 2020!
This will aid ease the burden of the amount of waste which is burned in the U.S., where currently, x6 more Plastic Waste is burned than that it is recycled (Green Peace, 2019).
It's also a reminder that more than one tactic is needed to beat the plastic pollution crisis we're facing, and the importance of new home compostable and marine degradable materials which disappear by themselves where recycling fails to collect it.
