Recyclable Utensils Changing The Game With Reusable Plastics | NBC 6

Each year, the planet produces three hundred million tons of plastic. Half of that will only be used once and then thrown away. Miami-based Lean Orb produces eco-packaging, an environmentally responsible way of serving food on-the-go. “Think about it, it’s the product we use usually for less than ten minutes that are not renewable, that will pollute our ecosystem, our soil, our groundwater, our oceans for the next five hundred years,” says Anastasia Mikhalochkina, Lean Orb’s Founder and CEO. It’s not just about air pollution. It’s also about climate change. Most plastic is made from fossil fuel, a major cause of global warming, which leads to sea level rise.
