Plastic waste is known to be an imminent danger to the environment in desperate need of a solution. Entrepreneurs from the Peruvian project Chuwa Plant have come up with an innovative product that is meant to reduce environmental pollution. Through their ambitious program, they created disposable plates made out of banana leaves!
Project head Josué Soto explained in Spanish per La Republica that the plates are made from banana leaves, paper, and cardboard cellulose. They are designed to decompose in up to 60 days—just two months! Their plastic counterparts, on the other hand, can take 500 years, a devastating prospect for plant and animal life within the planet’s oceans.
