Description
It makes sense why we use so much plastic in the food supply chain: It’s versatile, predictable, and sterile. But with so much of it ending up in landfills, does the positive outweigh the negative?
In this episode, I’m joined by William Orts, Research L eader at USDA-ARS, to tal k about solutions to the plastic problem, differences between degradability, and plans for the future.
Join us as we discuss:
3 most important mandates & plastic’s role in the food supply chain
The difference between compostable, degradable, and recyclable
The most important breakthroughs that need to take place
Patenting technology & strategizing for the year
