    Today is Earth Day—what are you doing to protect the planet? Many businesses and individuals are taking the necessary steps to reduce carbon emissions, ultimately improving the environment for generations to come.

    Consider the example of 27-year-old Dillon Baster, who has an objective to convert upcycled agricultural waste into a compostable plastic alternative. To do this, he launched his company PlantSwitch, which has raised $20 million and is currently manufacturing 50 million pounds of its plant-based bioplastics annually.

    Here is how this can help:

    • Break down in backyard compost in less than 12 months, leaving no microplastics behind.
    • Resins feel and function like plastic.
    • Resins are “drop-in” replacements, meaning plastics manufacturers can use their existing machines and processes.

    Ultimately, food service, cosmetics, supermarket, retail chains, packaged goods companies, and others will use this product to become more sustainable. On Earth Day—and every day—it is important to keep a pulse on the alternatives on the market. This is simply one example.
