Another attempt to reduce plastics

Origin Materials, a small Canadian company, thinks it can make recyclable plastic bottles from sawdust. Some major companies - Nestle SA, Danone SA and PepsiCo Inc. - agree with them as they have signed contracts with the firm. They hope to sell water in Origin’s recyclable plant-based bottles in early 2022.

Other companies are trying other new ways of producing recyclable plastic - sugar, corn, algae, seaweed, sewage and dead beetles.
