Are Bio-plastics a Sustainable Solution? | Vivian Tan | TEDxAbbotsford

[@randalfriedman1122]

It's absolutely crazy how we've known of these methods for years, but they're not used in the mainstream market. I think it's time to start using these methods, instead of just showing them on tv.

[@gregorydessingue5625]

I really appreciate the honesty about the shortcomings.

[@sanjnamoota]

This is exceptional!! We need more people like you advocating against plastic waste and moving to make this world a better place!! Good work, Vivian!!! ❤️❤️

[@angelicaaah1264]

going to answer a lot of comments-no not all bioplastics are biodegradable or compostable. Some are harder to understand than others. EG. Sugarcane bioplastics are not degradable but are less harmful to the earth bc it doesn't release fumes into the earth (or so found till now) and can be reused, OXO plastic is another plastic which is pretty cool. It's claimed to be and tested to be easily degradable-apparently it needs to touch light and water to degrade faster (its slow). Fastest degradable material i'ce found is seaweed plastic-not popular yet and another i love is mushroom packaging-but there are no mushroom plastics yet.

[@ColorlessQuarky]

Could you provide the sources to your findings? I'd love to have a little more insight in this matter.

[@iriscortez5]

Can you link me also? Thsnk you

[@Slayer_Abbyss]

OXO plastics are being banned by the EU because they just create Microplastics...

visionary at a young age. you are BRILLIANT!!!!!! Way to go Vivian!

[@viviantan4351]

Thanks a lot Brian! I also loved your talk!

[@proudindian8155]

is hemp useful in bio plastic?

[@proudindian8155]

@@violetrubyjane Thanks

[@surayakhalilli7429]

The video is worth more views, apreciations. It is sad that how people in the world are less interested in plastic pollution and its solutions

[@Ciroxxify]

Really nice. We all need to be conscious about our consume, use and disposal of plastics. A big sight about the topic, my regards from Argentina

[@viviantan4351]

Thank you so much! I definitely agree! At this time we need to be mindful about our waste outputs.

[@Opalmiller19]

Regards from North America ⛴️🪪

[@CBC460]

So the main thing that we should do is still to reduce, reuse, and recycle ♻️

[@maybeitstanish]

This video need to be spread more and more !!! PLease spread it to everyone you know ....

[@maybeitstanish]

Let us be participants and not bystanders

[@aperson2730]

Great talk

[@망고90]

PHA, which decomposes without heat, looks better in the future than PLA, where raw plastic is decomposed only by heat...

[@MarianBacol]

Great video! Thank you for sharing

[@viviantan4351]

Thanks for the compliment! 😍

[@davidlepine3757]

I am looking to source a small plastic film/bag packaging for a product that I produce. Would like the material to be clear, so the consumer can see the contents. What would be the best type of bioplastic to used that would break naturally? I did some research and am having trouble finding a clear solution to this.

[@duanelinstrom83]

Look for PHA from Danimer Scientific

[@jkeditzz9893]

can you share link you search

[@naveenrs7460]

How about jute bags?

[@jasmineren]

GO VIVIAN I LOVE UUU❤️❤️

[@viviantan4351]

OMG Thank you love!!

[@iamdavidmofc]

excellent

[@bw9709]

Yessssssssssss 💪

[@pusou1117]

Saying all of this wearing PU shoes, Nylon fabric clothes.... there is where unconscious speaks about plastic, no one (or practically no one) will trade a lifestyle or money for a cause greater than the individual. Bioplastic will be largely used in the coming years, but it is loaded plastic : 30% or less of bio plastic + 70% or more of fossil plastic (that could be recycled) - bioplastic will just limit the harm of plastic...

[@-STOCKRANGER]

watch at 1.25 x speed , thank me later . :D

[@beepbeepimmajeep]

LOL i gotta admit I was pre slow with this speech

[@-STOCKRANGER]

@@beepbeepimmajeep you gave a very good speech , but i had some work of mine so i rushed it till the end. :D

[@s.lvyshnaviperumalla1985]

Is sugarcane plastic is biodegradable ?? What kind of bioplastics are biodegradable

[@SriRam-fp1kt]

Mycelium, coffee grounds, pineapple leaves.

[@Baliken100]

I was just going to say about the shortcomings... there are so many more problems actually with using most, not all but most biodegradable plastics. 2/3 of biodegradable plastics on the market do more damage to our ecosystem then regular plastic! why? because it does partly biodegrade, but not in the way we think as it's taking poisonous attributes into our habitats. not all of them but it seems like most of them. in the end they're doing more harm than regular plastic!

[@y.m.3739]

everyone join "journey to zero-waste" on facebook. they are a great resource to becoming waste free

[@beepbeepimmajeep]

Ooh yeah that's a pre good page

[@carlosnunez9208]

Andrew yang said it best I can recycle all I want , till corporate companies stop selling products made of plastic we can not succeed. It’s up to greedy corps to recycle

[@ghtung]

That is grade 3 environment talk.

[@Anonymous-ee8ef]

More then you have done

[@Opalmiller19]

She is young Japanese girl from Vancouver, she may do one when she is older but she memorized an entire speech and made it in ted talk format, especially at the end half of video

[@angsumanshaw5265]

Cool

[@viviantan4351]

Thank you!

[@angsumanshaw5265]

My pleasure.

[@1stepofe-noise311]

are you aware walmart, of what a public custom currency kiosk endorsed by Linktree using [bioplastic] could do for you?!

[@s.lvyshnaviperumalla1985]

Are bio plastics - bio Degradable

[@khhriiziirou9276]

S.LVyshnavi perumalla Not all bio plastics are biodegradable.

[@naveenrs7460]

We can make the bio plastic bio degradable with colour coding and ranking. Why can't let's make step for this to make that globalised standard for bio degradable plastic

[@Half_Finis]

Had autoplay on and didn't see who was talking, couldn't tell she was Asian from her accent but heard her minor lisp ofc
