The businessmen around the world seem to be investing little thoughts to the world’s piling landfills. Clear Creek Compostables that imports plastic containers, sells plates and bowls tha are biodegradable! The utensils are made from sugar-cane pulp or corn resin! The market is small but growing.
Richard Feldman, the founder of the Los Angeles-based company began importing biodegradable plates and bowls — composed of 90% sugar-cane pulp and 10% paper — from China last year.
Feldman is also manufacturing clear containers from a corn-based resin. These eco-friendly resins are developed by NatureWorks, food supplier Cargill Inc.’s subsidiary.
Feldman, calling himself a ‘born-again environmentalist’ says,
I’ve spent a career filling landfills. Now, it’s time to reverse that.
