Recycling

Following a report that clearly states that plastic pollution is harmful to the environment, the government of Canada has issued a national ban on single-use plastic as soon as 2021 under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act.

TechnoSoil, a Californian startup company, paved the first 1,000-foot segment of highway using roughly 150,000 recycled plastic bottles per mile in Oroville, California, United States.

Single-use plastic bags are a tough environmental problem to solve - but three American heavyweights in the retail world have come up with an initiative to reinvent these single-use bags.
