Happy #WorldSoilDay! There's no better time to learn about #composting (a thread):
Many crops are converted to plant-based materials and products:
Renewable feedstocks are taken to biorefineries--where innovative green chemistry practices convert them into plant-based plastics, textiles, and many other products:
DYK: 32% of traditional plastic packaging escapes collection systems--often winding up in the ocean? This reinforces the need for plant-based materials packaging:
Municipal and industrial composting services offer a low-cost alternative to traditional plastics recycling. At these facilities, plant-based products and packaging are broken down to enrich soil--rather than accumulating in a landfill:
Finally, plant-based materials return to the ground as nutrient-rich compost--enhancing soil structure and closing the loop on the circular bioeconomy!
