An increasing number of cities, companies, and households are looking for creative ways to minimize their carbon footprint and save money along the way. A major part of those efforts is reducing waste, especially plastic waste such as packing and disposable cups and cutlery.In recent years, more and more companies are developing biodegradable options for single-use packaging and dishware. These biodegradable and compostable products are made out of plants and fibres that naturally break down and can even give back valuable resources to the earth.

Thanks to these conscious and eco-friendly companies, we might be moving in the right direction to a new waste-free era.

El plástico es uno de los materiales más utilizados, pero también uno de los que más problemas está generando en el ambiente. Se estima que su producción en todo el mundo podría alcanzar 33 mil millones de toneladas para el 2050, generando la muerte de mamíferos, aves, peces, y afectando la salud humana.

Actualmente, se calcula que de diez a 20 millones de toneladas de plástico terminan en el océano cada año, representando el 80% de basura arrojada en los cursos de agua y las costas.

Frente a esto, el bioplástico representa una amenaza menos al medio ambiente, ya que evita recurrir a recursos no renovables como el petróleo y reemplazarlos por productos vegetales y biodegradables. Este tipo de plástico se encuentra en pleno desarrollo, de hecho recientemente una estudiante de Tuquía ha encontrado la manera de crearlo a partir de cáscara de plátano.

Tú puedes ayudar a cambiar esta situación, reduciendo tu uso de plásticos convencionales, de sus desechos, o reutilizándo por ejemplo bolsas plásticas. Pero también puedes aprender cómo hacer bioplástico en tu casa, con cáscaras de fruta. Verás qué sencillo que resulta y entenderás que el cambio realmente está en nuestras manos.

¡Sé parte del nuevo paradigma sustentable!

Materiales

- 30 gramos de almidón o fécula de maíz

- 1 taza de agua

- 1 cucharada de vinagre blanco

- 1 cucharada de glicerina vegetal

- Cáscara de fruta (aquí usamos mango)

- Colorante natural (opcional)

Procedimiento

1. En un recipiente mezcla la fécula de maíz con el agua, el vinagre y la glicerina. Integra bien hasta que quede una mezcla uniforme.

2. Por otro lado, licúa la cáscara de tu mango junto a una taza de agua; y reserva. Puedes aprender cómo pelarlo fácilmente con un vaso aquí.

3. Lleva la preparación al fuego y revuelve constantemente con una cuchara o espátula para que no se formen grumos. Si lo prefieres, puedes agregar un poco de colorante natural también. Verás que de a poco se irá espesando la preparación. Mezcla más enérgicamente y agrega un poco más de agua, si eso te permite integrar mejor todos los ingredientes.

4. Cuando te haya quedado una preparación gelatinosa, colócala en la licuadora junto a tu licuado de cáscara de mango.

5. Moldea tu plástico biodegradable con un pequeño molde, o bien vierte la preparación sobre una bandeja para lograr una capa fina.

6. Deja secar por 24 horas o más, hasta que esté completamente rígido.

El bioplástico que obtendrás tardará en degradarse alrededor de 4 meses, a diferencia del plástico derivado del petróleo que puede demorar de 100 a 1000 años.

En el siguiente video podrás ver con el detenimiento el paso a paso de el procedimiento antes explicado, pero debes saber que no es el único. ¡Hay otras alternativas para lograr bioplástico y todas ellas representan una alternativa sustentable!

Santiago de Querétaro, Querétaro. 23 de abril de 2018 (Agencia Informativa Conacyt).- Estudiantes de la carrera de ingeniería en biotecnología de la Facultad de Química de la Universidad Autónoma de Querétaro (UAQ) diseñaron un biopolímero con base en subproductos de la agroindustria para la fabricación de bolsas de plástico degradables. El proyecto es liderado por la estudiante de ingeniería en biotecnología Mónica Citlali García García, quien aseguró que el objetivo fue ofrecer una alternativa sustentable ante la problemática ecológica que generan las bolsas de plástico desechables —elaboradas con polietileno de alta densidad— en el medio ambiente, así como la reciente creación del Reglamento de Protección Ambiental y Cambio Climático del Municipio de Querétaro, que restringe a centros comerciales y tiendas de conveniencia el otorgamiento de estas bolsas a sus clientes.

Here a few more designs and ideas of what are people doing to try and tackle the existing issues with polluting the oceans.

In honour of World Oceans Day, we've rounded up 13 of our favourite designs for cleaner oceans - including products from Adidas, Levi's, Interface and Studio Swine.
2 Parley by Adidas
After making waves last year with a concept for sneakers and 3D-printed soles made from recycled fishing net, Adidas has teamed with Parley for the Oceans to launch a limited edition run of the kicks - in a seafoam shade, naturally - in honour of World Oceans Day. The upper for each shoe contains about 13 grams of recycled gill nets, as well as 16.5 plastic bottles.

9 Sea Me rug by Nienke Hoogvliet
The Dutch designer offers a more artistic take on fishing nets repurposed as floor coverings with this rug, made using yarns woven from kelp harvested from South Africa. The cellulose derived from the seaweed offers properties similar to viscose, but can be processed using more eco-friendly methods.

11 Seabin by Andrew Turton and Pete Ceglinski
Two Australian surfers successfully crowdfunded their concept for an underwater trash can earlier this year. Intended for marinas and dockside installations, the low-cost, low-maintenance bin pumps water through a removable filter that traps garbage before it makes its way out to sea.

New Designs made with a sustainable approach.

Plastic. A truck load of the moldable, powerful, indestructible stuff is dumped into our oceans every minute. Despite positive moves in the right direction - plastic straws have finally earned pariah status; plastic bags come with fines; big brands are beginning to follow in the vanguard footsteps of zero-plastic movements - the ocean is still choked with around six billion tonnes of toxic packaging, waste and pollution.

Creative powerhouses (artists, designers, makers) have a responsibility - and an opportunity - to set the agenda for a sustainable future, just as much as our politicians and environmental scientists. Creators can visually explain why sustainable design is important. Here's eight creative forces you need to know about, who are doing just that.
Parley for the Oceans

Front-runners in ocean-conscious design, Parley for the Oceans is a global network of creators who together raise awareness of the beauty - and fragility - of our oceans. Founder Cyrill Gutsch has bridged the narrowing divide between the traditional environmentalist community into the cultural one, having collaborated with Doug Aitken (2016), Stella McCartney and Adidas, amongst others.

Parley first contributed its eco-friendly, up-cycled fabrics to Adidas in 2015 in a history-making collaboration - the world's first pair of ocean-conscious trainers. The pioneering pair are fighting the good fight into 2018, having just launched a new trainer - NMD_CS1 Parley (pictured top) - made from Parley's Primeknit construction. With a contoured, sock-like fit, the yarn is made from plastic waste that has been intercepted from beaches and coastal communities - before it reaches the beaches.

In keeping with the oceanic theme, the NMD_CS1 Parley is rendered in clean blue with contrasting black striping details, finished with a branded woven heel pull. It's another step toward raising awareness of the environmental issues affecting our seas, and, says Parley, it aims 'to create change, widen the conversation and grow the movement, from threat to thread'.
Soma
Water bottle and re-usable filter designer Soma has been innovating sustainably - and stylishly - since 2014. As well being made from post-consumer waste and recyclable materials, each of its products is a minimal objet d'art.

Though usually focussed on raising money for 'charity: water', which aims to provide clean drinking water in developing countries, Soma has recently made its first foray into ocean preservation. Launched in April 2018, the Soma glass water bottle - created in partnership with Parley for the Oceans and available exclusively at Starbucks - has a sleeve made from material equivalent to two plastic bottles, intercepted from remote islands and coastal communities. Inside, the lightweight and durable glass bottle is made from 100% BPA-free, shatter-resistant glass, and the bamboo cap is leak-proof and made from equally renewable resources.

Soma also aims to make its business habits as environmentally conscious as its products and charitable ventures. It offsets its emissions with conservation-based forestry, and its code of conduct sets standards for labour practices, transparency, animal-welfare, and anti-discrimination policies. 'Shifting mindsets and behaviours is as important as creating new systems and materials,' explains Cyrill Gutsch of the project. 'We all have a role to play. This bottle is another reminder of that fact and the beginning of a new collaboration in the movement for solutions.'
Wehlers
In an attempt to make a circular economy from its designs, Europe's first certified B-corporation furniture brand Wehlers has created a so-called 'ECO-system' of objects with one, key aim: to prevent single-use furniture and plastic from re-entering the oceans. Just nine months in the making, the Danish design up-and-comer has created a collection of furniture from up-cycled fishing nets, dumped along the west coast of Denmark - a pollutant they say is 'rising year on year'.

A highlight of the mid-century modern-inspired collection is the humorously titled 'Obvious' daybed (pictured), upholstered with Kvadrat textiles. Its name not only points to the simplicity of its design, but also the potential ubiquitousness of ocean-conscious making. It says: everyone should, and could, be creating products as ocean-aware as this.

'We don't think the world needs more designed furniture,' explain founders Maria and Henrik Holm, who moniker their brand 'furniture for good'. 'However, we do think that it needs more options for conscious consumption. We founded the company to be the positive change we wish to see in the world. For the sake of our children and their children. Our place in history depends on the choices we make.'
Made Thought
In collaboration with lobbying group and grass roots organisation A Plastic Planet, London-based design studio Made Thought has shaped a simple graphic icon that it hopes will underpin a new approach to supermarket shopping.

The 'Plastic Free Mark' aims to help consumers make informed choices about the packaging they buy. A simple graphic device that's designed to work with any product, the mark recently debuted in Dutch supermarket chain Ekoplaza with the launch of the world's first Plastic Free Aisle, dubbed the Ekoplaza Lab. This pilot project features 700 products that showcase natural bio-materials and other easily recyclable pieces of packaging.

'Even after decades of European authorities collecting recycling, only nine per cent of our waste is recycled,' Made Thought explains. 'It is clear that recycling does not go far enough: that is why A Plastic Planet is keen to turn off the plastic tap.'

'We are actively discussing using the mark in a number of high-end drinks and spirits brands. More importantly, right now we are in conversation with a number of our clients across the skincare and hospitality industries about how we can become plastic free across their entire business operation. This degree of change is really exciting because we believe for design to be truly progressive it has to change behaviour at this level.'
Brodie Neill
In September 2017, designer Brodie Neill presented his innovative Ocean Terazzo collection at the Foster + Partners-designed ME Hotel in London. First developed in 2016 for his Plastic Effects installation at the Australian Pavilion at London Design Biennale, he describes the material, which is made from small fragments of reconstituted plastic, as 'nature-driven technology'. Inspired by nineteenth century mosaic-style table tops, the material (as seen in his now storied table Gyro) substitutes examples of precious marble, timber and ivory for the plastic composite, in a contemporary re-definition of what we consider to be 'precious'.

Reflecting both the textures and colours of the ocean, the surface evokes spray washing over a pebble beach - a poignant message, as Neill worked with an international network of beachcombers to create the works. Some of the plastic was found on the beaches of Tasmania, a UNESCO world heritage site, and Neill's home.
Christopher Raeburn, CanO Water and London Zoo
UK-based CanO Water was established in 2015 with the aim of creating a 'sustainable alternative to single-use plastic bottles', instead packaging drinking water inside aluminium cans. Earlier this year, collaborative fashion studio Christpher Raeburn partnered with CanO, alongside somewhat unlikely bedfellow London Zoo. Each disparate company is united by one common passion: stemming the tide on plastic pollution. The cans now take the space once filled by water bottles at both London and Whipsnade Zoo.

'Our latest A/W 2018 Immerse collection was a real creative call to arms, inspired by our fragile oceans,' explains Raeburn. 'On a personal level I also found the BBC series Blue Planet 2 to be incredibly impactful and, along with so many others that viewed the series, I wanted to help make a difference.'

Raeburn's role in the CanO initiative was to invent a playful and striking design, while making the can London Zoo-specific. Naturally, he looked to his studio's all-over shark print pattern, which swims the can's circumference, 'reinforcing the wider message around ocean pollution; and the fact it affects all marine species.'

He continues, 'I think as a designer you have an obligation to consider what you are doing and why; ultimately we want to make strong, sustainable choices that provide our customers with a completely unique and desirable product.'
La Bouche
La Bouche is fishing plastic awareness from the depths of the oceans - and consiousnesses - and placing it directly under our noses - literally. Cosmetics labels - so often notorious for their plastic packaging and heavy reliance on oil - are perhaps not what you might expect to find in a hot list of environmentally-conscious designers, but this French Maison is revolutionising its industry, with mindful, environmental and humanist values. The La Baume Rose case (pictured) is plastic free, and the colour refill is the most environmentally friendly refill ever created, with no harmful polymers.

'I like the idea that buying a lipstick can become activism, the symbol of a conscience,' says model Anja Rubik, the original face of the Maison, who launched two new colourways with New York concept store The Webster earlier this year. She continues: 'Only creativity and collaboration will end marine plastic pollution.'
Plastic Whale, Vepa and LAMA Concept
In an effort to help solve the plastic soup problem, Dutch social enterprise Plastic Whale and manufacturer Vepa have launched the Plastic Whale Circular Collection; high-end office furniture that is made from plastic fished-out of Amsterdam's canals by hand, with help from thousands of local residents. The social enterprise previously built ten designer sloop sailing boats made from recycled waste, which are now used on these so-called 'plastic fishing' expeditions.

But, 'with office furniture we can make an even greater impact, as many companies want to make a positive contribution to a cleaner environment,' Plastic Whale explains. The debut collection consists of a boardroom table, a chair, lamps and acoustic wall panels (all pictured above), designed by local studio LAMA Concept. Circularity - both physically and theoretically - is key to the design, and the whale serves as a source of inspiration. 'Plastic soup is a huge threat for this incredible mammal, and so we have translated characteristic elements of the whale into the designs,' Yvonne Laurysen, co-owner of LAMA explains. 'Think, for example, of the look and feel of its skin, the adipose tissue and the impressive skeleton.'

The design circularity continues after the modular furniture's lifetime. Each piece is assembled in such a way that it can easily be disassembled and reincarnated, its bare bones used to make fresh raw materials. To whit, part of the profits will be donated to charities that aim to preserve our oceans.
Nespresso and Caran D'Ache
Doing their bit for the planet, these two Swiss companies have teamed up to create a limited edition pen made from recycled coffee capsules. Formed from the lightweight but robust aluminium, the Nespresso 849 ballpoint by Caran D'Ache bares all the brand's typical quality and innovative Swiss design, with the added nod towards sustainability. Writers are reminded of this, thanks to the subtle engraving 'Made with recycled Nespresso Capsules' on the face opposing the flexible steel clip.
