«These are
traditional fossil fuel - based
plastics... that have been combined with what are called transition metals — for example, cobalt, manganese, and iron — which cause fragmentation of
plastic when triggered by UV radiation or heat.
To intentionally misquote Mr. McGuire in the»67 film The Graduate, «There's a great future in bioplastics,» but the problem is that some bioplastics can contain petro - based
plastics as well, which might reduce the overall amount of
fossil fuel - based
plastics, while inadvertently creating more waste by allowing consumers to treat these bioplastics more casually than they do
traditional plastics.
