Penn State laboratories involved in developing options to wean America off plastic
After lunch with friends, you go to throw away your trash. There are two options: a trash can and recycling bins. Sorting trash can be time-consuming, especially if you need to leave. You toss your plastic salad container in the recycling bin, but not the right one. Though you think you made an environmentally conscious decision, your plastic ends up in the landfill.
