INTRODUCTION

How to reduce our dependency on oil… while avoiding alternative solutions with other negative effects?

Are you familiar with the term «Mass balance»? Does it solve an ecological problem? 

In this «Wild W[a]st.e» audio clip with Mr & Mrs Recycling, we tackled 

  • the mass balance process, 
  • its shares, 
  • the applications with bio-based and recycled materials, 
  • the food parameters, 
  • and some forecasts.

After having reviewed plastics and bioplastics in the previous episodes, let’s deep dive together into what Mass Balance means and induces!

PODCAST MUSIC

Special thanks to Joachim Regout who made the jingle. Have a look at his work here
