A leading contributor to Climate Change is the manufacturing of plastics. The petrochemicals which turn oil and gas into plastics will account for nearly half the demand for oil in 2050 and consume fifty-six billion cubic meters of natural gas by 2030 (International Energy Agency 2018). Single-use plastics for packaging end up in land-fills and remain unbroken down for thousands of years while emitting toxic waste. Zero Waste Solutions is putting a stop to harmful plastics and creating a sustainable future with compostable packaging solutions. Zero Waste Solutions works with innovative partners to create composting packaging plans for business, government, and consumers. As experts in eco-friendly packaging, Zero Waste Solutions provides consulting services to help your enterprise be part of a better world.
