Plastic is an inescapable element in modern society, used in the packaging of food and beverages, as well as in the production of tubes, clothing, vehicles and aircraft. Its use is essentially based on fossil fuel sources. Although its recycling is possible, the cumulative effect of the uses inevitably proves destructive, leading to accumulations of garbage and microplastic contamination, which represent more than 80% of the total use of plastic.
Even the burning of plastic, like any other fossil fuel, results in the emission of CO2. In spite of everything, nothing is lost. Considering that plastic essentially consists of carbon chains aggregated in a specific way, the use of organic materials can provide the essential components for its production.
