46. How to Break our Dependence on Plastics in the Food Chain

In this episode, I’m joined by William Orts, Research L eader at USDA-ARS, to tal k about solutions to the plastic problem, differences between degradability, and plans for the future.
Join us as we discuss:
- 3 most important mandates & plastic’s role in the food supply chain
