Mission Statement:
Plastic bags do not idly sit in landfills or float harmlessly in the ocean, they photograde, breaking down and forming toxins that contaminate the surrounding soil and waterways. To curve dependence on plastic, biodegradable bags are necessary. Using a bountiful fruit and microwaves, Florida can turn orange peels into bioplastic.
