Sustainability is a hot topic today, and companies are being forced to find new ways to become more environmentally friendly. Environmentalists and governments are pushing for the elimination of biodegradable plastics and other single-use plastics. Biodegradable packaging must be destroyed at very high temperatures, which is neither practical nor environmentally friendly. In addition, current waste systems are not capable of destroying them. As consumers recycle them with conventional plastics, the plastic that needs to be recycled spoils and must be thrown away. The best way to solve this problem is to find energy-efficient ways to destroy biodegradable packaging.
