Since its invention, humankind has produced app. 9 billion tons of conventional plastic. Sadly most of it is still here on Earth.

Surprisingly, organic waste like left-over food, vegetable skins, fruit peels, etc. is one of the top-5 threats to global warming.

Organic waste and left-over foods make up more than 44% of global waste each year, adding up to almost 1 billion tons.

London-based startup Aeropowder created Pluumo, a high-performance insulation material that turns surplus feather waste into a sustainable alternative to polystyrene.

Plastic is everywhere and has changed our daily lives. It is durable and convenient, but large amounts end up in nature, harming the environment, animals, and human health.

Microplastics are increasingly found in nature, and while their full impact is still unclear, they are seen as one of the biggest environmental challenges for humans and the planet.

Experts come with an interesting message about certified compostable waste bags that contradicts previous information!

Conventional plastic has made life more convenient but also created major pollution for animals, humans, and the environment - and production keeps rising.

Biobag Ireland UK is the first retail range of compostable bags certified for use in Irish food waste (brown) bins. Awarded by Cré IRELAND, this certification is the only Irish scheme providing independent assessment of compostable products.

Italy’s Novamont, a global leader in biochemicals and compostable bioplastics, has acquired Biobag Group, a Norway-based supplier of low-impact solutions for waste collection and packaging.

Biobags are made of Mater-Bi, a compostable material from Novamont, designed to move organic waste from landfills and incineration to biological decomposition, creating compost to enrich soil.

The results of a two year study in the USA have confirmed biodegradable plastic alternatives like Biobags help prevent plastic pollution.

An ETH Zurich and EAWAG study shows microorganisms can fully break down biodegradable plastics into natural components.

An exciting European proposal on the Circular Economy Package in December 2015 paved the way for broader adoption of biodegradable materials across the EU.
