Great invention for the environment: The idea of ​​genius in the era of plastic garbage to the throne

Biofase - a business in Mexico has an idea that is considered to be extremely great, when dealing with the most painful garbage today: disposable plastic ware.

You probably know, our Earth is experiencing a real plastic garbage crisis, and the garbage that caused that crisis is disposable plastic items.

In the face of the harmful effects of plastic, everyone understands that we need to reduce plastic and switch to greener and recyclable alternatives. But it is not natural that someone liking disposable plastic ware is the "ulcer" in the fight against human plastic waste today. It's really hard to give up plastic disposable items , when they meet 3 criteria: Convenient, Clean and Cheap.

It is fine to replace it, the problem is that if the replacement is not "convenient", it will be difficult to make a change for the whole community. The best thing would be to create a disposable product that is made from green materials, suitable for the environment.

Understanding this core, Biofase - the Mexican company has come up with a genius and potential idea in the picture below.

The revolution of the chemistry engineering student

When Scott Munguía studied chemical engineering, he never thought that one day he could revolutionize the entire biodegradable industry in the world.

Everything comes from a project in the classroom, when Scott seeks to turn avocado seeds into disposable items . Then he suddenly realized that it not only helped me get good grades, but also a great business idea.

Scott and two friends created Biofase. The main job of this company is to re-use avocado seeds - which account for a large proportion of the Mexican waste. They collect from companies that produce oil before being dumped, then turn them into disposable items.

Biofase products include knives, forks (forks), spoons (spoons) and straws. All decay for up to 240 days. It sounds like a long time, but it's nothing compared to the thousands of years of plastic garbage.

"Everything that exists on Earth is part of a natural cycle. The problem with plastic garbage is that it exists, but stands outside that cycle" - said Scott.

At the present time, the company is still growing strongly. According to reported figures, each year the company produces 300-400 tons of knives, forks and straws, and is looking to develop the production of plates and food containers. Currently, Biofase is reaching out to the United States, Central America and several European countries.
