What are eco-plastics?

When thinking of plastic “ earth friendly” isn’t on the list. From trash pollution, to length of deterioration, to recycling; plastics aren’t normally in on the favorable side of the earth talk. If we could fix the problem at its source, what plastics are made of, we can make them more eco-friendly. But how something would last in a situation where the plastic is being used for long periods, and will be outside a lot in the weather such as automobiles?

Most of us have understood for years that plastic is an environmental no-no. It’s fuel based, requires lots of energy to produce and it clogs up landfills for what might as well be forever. It’s difficult to imagine a plastic we can buy without guilt. And whether eco-plastics fit that bill depends on how “green” you want to be.
