The concept of bioplastics, where “we could use it, throw it away, and it doesn’t matter where you throw it, and it’s going to safely disappear, that does not exist,” says one scientist. “Nobody could engineer something like that, not even nature.” e360.yale.edu/features/why-b…

Our professional cleanup crews are finding hundreds of masks and gloves every single day.
Please be sure to properly dispose of PPE so that we can curb this new wave of plastic pollution.

Single-use plastics are back with a vengeance, PPE pollution is the novel plastic virus 🦠 infecting our beaches, ocean & environment.

Yay! Our new study on #bioplastics and plant-based materials is out. Most consumer products contain chemicals that are toxic in vitro, >1000 compounds per product. Very similar to petroleum-based plastics, i.e., toxicologically not really safer. 1/5

Most everything they say about plastic waste is wrong:
- ocean biodegrades 99.9% of it
- bioplastics worse than fossil-plastics
- landfill & incineration better than recycling
Nobody likes waste but it's wrong to deny plastics to poor nations

The hospital in Brescia (one of the hardest-hit regions for COVID-19 in Italy) ran out of ICU valves and the supply chain was broken. A local company brought a 3D printer to the hospital, redesigned & produced the valves in 6 hours avoiding the worst buff.ly/33mHWq5

Experts estimate that 90% of current plastics could be derived from plants instead of fossil-fuels. Bio-based plastics come from the earth, and those that are biodegradable can return to it—often with lower carbon emissions.
