The amount of plastic waste flowing into the ocean could triple by 2040 as part of the estimated 1.3 billion tons predicted to choke our already strained ecosystem, killing marine life and polluting the land.[1] A recent UK investigation found that microscopic, potentially dangerous plastic particles have become “part of the air we breathe.”[2] But companies and governments can drastically reduce plastic production in time, a new study indicate.[3]
W-Cycle, an Israeli foodTech startup has developed SupraPulp, plastic-free packaging made of sugar cane waste that is fully compostable, safe, yet durable enough to be used for greasy, wet, or hot food. Packaged food with SupraPulp can be frozen and heated with either an oven, convection oven, steam cooker or microwave.
