The sequence of images on the right reflects better than us the result obtained at Cargill in the USA. The ecological plastic used for the manufacture of tools of great use is now available for marketing and if you want to confirm in reality the results obtained in the laboratory, we can say that we are facing the clean plastic of the future.

In fact, the ecopla or ecological plastic they use at Cargill is made up of biodegradable elements. It is a plastic material, but designed to “disappear”. Ecopla takes about 45 days to transform into water and carbon dioxide, i.e. into substances that do not harm the environment. Much difference with the plastics we currently use!
