“Green” Plastics Could Help Reduce Carbon Footprint
Feb 16, 2009
More than 20 million tons of plastic are placed in U.S. landfills each year. Results from a new study conducted by IPG researcher Brian Mooney and Douglas Randall suggest that some of the largely petroleum-based plastic may soon be replaced by a nonpolluting, renewable plastic made from plants.
