Keeping Plastic Waste Out of the Ocean…With The Help of Ocean Creatures

A Scottish company has come up with a revolutionary replacement for plastic packaging. Created from shellfish waste, this new “plastic” is completely biodegradeable. The film is made from a substance called chitin, found in the shells of crustaceans, and can be processed to perform the same as plastic film. So now there’s no need to sacrifice food safety for the environmental impacts! We love seeing advances in packaging design that don’t affect our planet negatively.
