National Biodegradable Plastic Initiative

The National Biodegradable Plastic Initiative is a government effort aimed at promoting the use of biodegradable plastics to reduce environmental pollution. These plastics are designed to break down more quickly than traditional plastics, which can take hundreds of years to decompose. The initiative encourages research, development, and production of sustainable alternatives that minimize the impact on landfills and oceans. By supporting this shift, the initiative seeks to lessen plastic waste, protect ecosystems, and promote greener practices in industries that rely heavily on plastic products.
