14 Greatest Solutions To World’s Plastic Problems

Plastic is a cheap, fast-to-make and easy-to-use material. Because of this, however, the global usage of plastic is starting to cause a real problem, as plastic takes hundreds of years to decompose naturally, even thousands with some plastic products. That is why many companies around the world are fighting this issue with alternative materials that take days to decompose instead of years.

Here are 14 great examples of what is being done in this field, and I must say the creativity is really encouraging!
