MATERIAL SHIFT: A Primer on Regenerative Alternatives to Plastic

Although plastic pollution can be an overwhelming crisis, nature holds real, promising solutions that could help solve it—materials like agricultural residues, hemp and other bast fibers, mycelium, and seaweed—and innovative businesses are already implementing them.

In the transition away from single-use plastic packaging, non-toxic reuse and refill systems must serve as the foundation; however, where such systems are not possible, regenerative materials from nature that do not cause lasting pollution are a game changer. 

Our new report, MATERIAL SHIFT: A Primer on Regenerative Alternatives to Plastic, highlights some of the most promising regenerative materials to replace plastics, and we are excited to share it with you.
