    How have beco products become alternative to non biodegradable products? Has beco found solution to replacing biodegradable chocolate wrapping or plastic containers for provisions say shampoo bottles or cooking oil containers?
    Idea is good but has not reached the goal
    Paper towels and tissue have always been degradable, nothing innovative about that.

  • @mandarkokate5613
    @mandarkokate5613 3 роки тому +1

    Look what ever they are doing is great. At least material used is biodegradable. But the thing is consumption of material is still there and now its bamboo, crop waste instead of plastic. Let one thing is sustainable and if it is consumed by 7.5 billion people then it will not remain sustainable it will always overshoot. That's the problem I have with todays society of which I am also a part. They will not compromise with living standards but they will achieve it by somehow by sustainable but don't remain when used by all population. Be less consumptive in life. Use 5R.
