You may be thinking that using paper would be better for the environment but the truth is that the process of making paper can do more harm to the environment that plastic production. To produce the paper they need to cut down trees and the pollution produced from the factories is more than what is produced from the production of plastic.
Producing biodegradable plastic is found to be the only effective material against ordinary plastic. The lifespan of biodegradable plastics is dependent upon the substances use while manufacturing and the environmental condition in which the biodegradable plastics are left to degrade, it is naturally degraded by heat, light and oxygen.
Today many plastics manufacturing companies are focusing on manufacturing biodegradable plastics and recycling plastics to make their business more environmentally friendly. The best way to tell if a company is environmentally friendly is by looking for logos like Energy Star, EPA and FSC.
