This is our pilot episode for our new explainer series, The Story Behind The Story, on climate and sustainability news. We explain things in clear and simple terms that anyone can understand. We all want to do better for our planet, but it's confusing, so we give you the facts without bias. In this pilot episode we explain how bioplastics are made and specifically discuss the new plastic Bacardi and Pepsi will be using. While there are some benefits to the new plastic, in the longterm it might create more problems than is solves.
