Description: Alternatives to plastic are materials that can replace conventional plastics, often made from renewable resources. These materials aim to mitigate the negative environmental impact associated with plastic use, which is known for its durability and resistance but also for its contribution to pollution and harm to ecosystems. Alternatives to plastic include a variety of options, such as bioplastics, paper, cardboard, glass, metals, and composite materials. These alternatives not only offer similar functional properties to plastic but can also be biodegradable or recyclable, making them more sustainable options. The growing concern for the environment and public health has driven research and the development of these materials, encouraging their adoption across various industries. The transition to alternatives to plastic is essential to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and promote a more sustainable future, where products are designed to minimize waste and maximize reuse. In this context, alternatives to plastic represent not only a technical solution but also a cultural shift towards more responsible and environmentally conscious practices.
