Bagasse is a sugarcane by product which remains after sugar removal. It degrades naturally and happens to be a renewable resource. Bagasse packaging is environment friendly as it decomposes quickly instead of staying in the environment for a long period of time and posing threat to the nature. Moreover, this quality ensures zero waste generation of such packaging after discard. It is mostly used as an alternative to Styrofoam which takes almost 500 years to break down completely. Packaging produced from bagasse include; cups, boxes and pouches.
Plastic pollution is rapidly increasing over the past few decades due to massive production and consumption of single use plastic products. The discarding after single use feature seems quiet convenient for the consumers, but the drastic effects it has on the environmental and human health are usually not realised. Our oceans, rivers and landfills are constantly receiving tons of single use plastics every year. According to a report of United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) “From Pollution to Solution”, most of the waste lying in seas and oceans comprises of plastic which is around 85% of the overall marine waste.
Disposable plastics are typically thrown after single use but stay in the environment for hundreds of years.
How Much Waste Is Sent To Landfill In UK
The UK generated 222.2 million tonnes of waste in 2022, with England responsible for 84% of the UK total. However, much of the waste generated will be sent to landfills.
What Happens To Waste In Landfills?
When waste produced is sent to landfill, it can fester for years emitting harmful toxins into the atmosphere and ground. This includes greenhouse gas, which comprises methane and carbon dioxide. It can release these gases which contribute to the rapid rate of global warming. Waste at landfills also releases leachate, a liquid that can pour into the surface and groundwater. From here, the toxin can cause environmental issues and threaten human health.
