One of the most drastic problems facing mankind today is climate change. Especially environmental pollution, often due to plastic waste, is a deciding aspect. The European Union has recently decided to ban most single use plastic items, such as straws and plastic plates. Meanwhile here in Australia the attitude is changing, too, and people want to contribute to a cleaner and more sustainable environment. Startups can help promote this movement significantly. One such company is ’cleanplate’, which offers 100% organic plates made from wheat bran.
