According to a January 8, 2020 American Association for the Advancement of Science Eureka Alert News Release, titled “The effects of microplastics on organisms in coastal areas“ researchers with the University of Toronto, University of North Carolina-Wilmington and Oregon State University “… demonstrated the transfer of microplastics through the food chain between microscopic prey and larval fish that live in coastal ecosystems. They also found that microplastic ingestion interferes with normal growth in fish larvae …” – Their research is published in a January 7, 2010 Limnology & Oceanography Letters report at – #SingleUsePlastics #FoodPackaging #PlasticWaste #PlasticPackaging #MicroPlastic #NanoPlastic
Animal Digestible Food Packaging Initiative
Our reason-for-being/goal/purpose/objective/intent is to convince/inspire/persuade/encourage the food processing industry to establish and fund a public private partnership for the discovery of new food packaging materials that would be digestible by animals (farm animals as well as ubiquitous microbes).
