While traditional plastic is made from petroleum products that do not disintegrate, Dr. Alexander Golberg of the Porter School of Environmental Studies say seaweed-based bioplastic is a sustainable alternative. that Canadians use nearly 3 billion plastic bags each year with less than 11 per cent being recycled.Tel Aviv University School of Chemistry professor Michael Gozin says plastic made out of seaweed could be a "revolutionary product with a really low cost" that could help the environment and save wildlife.
"We just have to pay attention to not create another problem," said Karel Menard, the executive director of the Quebec Coalition for Ecological Waste Management. Menard explained in an interview with CTV News' Vanessa Lee that if manufacturers create one billion plastic bottles using seaweed, oceans may eventually be depleted of the algae.
