We all know that the disposal of plastic bottles has the lion's share of the global climate crisis. But are we really aware of this? In a world that produces 300 million pieces of plastic annually, we desperately wish we had other options! This is where the Dutch company Avantium can come to our aid. With the support of major companies such as Coca-Cola, Carlsberg and Danone, they are developing a "vegetable plastic" that could replace the classic plastic used in food chains.
