The US is the world's biggest culprit in generating plastic waste and the country urgently needs a new strategy to curb the vast amount of plastic that ends up in the oceans. The advent of cheap, versatile plastics has created a global scale deluge of plastic waste seemingly everywhere we look, with the US a leading contributor of disposable plastics that ends up entangling and choking marine life, harming ecosystems and bringing harmful pollution up through the food chain.

BioAmmo

Enrique Lopez-Poza's company, BioAmmo, creates 100% plastic-free, biodegradable and bio-compostable shotgun cartridges that are now sold in more than 20 countries. The traditional plastic casing and plastic wadding---the layer that separates the powder from the shot---have been replaced with a vegetable biopolymer, and the metal base is a non-toxic alloy of copper and zinc designed to oxidize and disappear. Customers can choose lead or steel shot. BioAmmo's biggest market is the US, and its biggest European market is the UK followed by Norway, Sweden, Denmark and the Netherlands.
