Efforts to combat #PlasticPollution include reducing single-use #plastics, improving #recycling systems, & promoting #biodegradable alternatives. However, a systemic overhaul of production & consumption patterns is crucial to mitigate this crisis. Without urgent action, #PlasticPollution will continue to degrade #Nature, threaten #biodiversity, & jeopardise global #sustainability for generations to come. (5/5)
#Banana yields fruit only once, afterwards the whole tree has to be discarded. It creates a lot of waste without #upcycling e.g. into #BananaFibre, one of the most absorbent #fibres available.
Current innovations aim to use this fibre for #textile (jeans), but it could be used for so much more, e.g. producing #biodegradable and #compostable #SanitaryPads.

NHK WORLDSustainable Pads Empower Indian Women: Kristin Kagetsu / Co-Founder, Saathi - Direct Talk | NHK WORLD-JAPANIn India, sanitary products are uncommon. Saathi makes pads from banana fiber, supplying women who lack access. Co-founder, Kristin Kagetsu discusses sustainable solutions for menstrual issues.
"The Philippines is the second-largest producer of coconuts in the world. An estimated 9 billion husks are burned or left to rot here every year. Fortuna Cools makes coolers out of that waste, instead of the commonly used expanded polystyrene foam, often incorrectly called "styrofoam." We make more than 14 million tons of this hard-to-recycle plastic every year."

Make all plastics that isn't #Compostable or #Biodegradable illegal!
so, what do you do with your spent smalls? do you wear them until they've perished, use them as rags & then bin them? i've got a 1/4 drawer in an atrocious state & don't know what to do with them. they're mainly cotton. can i compost them if i remove the elastic bits?
i've found biodegradable pants now, thankfully.

The Cool Down · Scientists achieve breakthrough with plastic that completely decomposes in 2 months: 'A new type of bioplastic'A plastic alternative being developed in Denmark, made from barley's starch and sugar beet's waste, could soon be holding your leftovers.
It's been a while since I last purchased a fly line. Great to see that they are now using compostable materials like egg cartons instead of plastic. I wonder if this reduces the cost
