Grow More with Less - Reducing Plastic Footprint in Agriculture
While agriculture is a major contributor to today's global economy, it's also responsible for approximately 998 million tonnes of worldwide waste produced yearly. This number, largely disregarded and ignored, has seen a recent shift towards sustainable development and efficient waste management as it has become a major concern for all stakeholders.
Over the past decades, plastics in agriculture have garnered increasing global attention. Integral to most farm operations across all agricultural sectors, plastics have been replacing traditional materials at a rapid pace because of their increased production efficiency, ease of use, and cheaper cost. But, what about their disposal? Everything decomposes on this planet; everything except for PLASTIC.
