Jewish Woman Invents A Replacement For Plastic -
This could be a history maker!
The Problem
It’s no secret that the world has a massive plastic pollution problem. According to Nas Daily,
300 million tons are produced each year and 50% of that is for single-use as is the case with
bottles. We use them once for a few minutes and throw them away and yet they stay in nature
for hundreds of years.
We see plastics everywhere, in our oceans, in our forests and it causes major harm to our
environment, our wildlife, our marine life and even to humans. Single-use plastic is a huge
problem.
Solution to the problem
But Sharon is now solving the problem. She used to work for a plastic company but resigned
to look for a solution. After years of research and hard work, she has devised a product that
looks like plastic and functions like it.
“This product is not plastic at all, but it looks and feels like it,” Sharon says. Watch the video
below and see the result of her simple test. When you put her product in water, it dissolves
within minutes while actual plastic remains the same and will never biodegrade.
“After you finish using it and you throw it away, it will just break down and bio-degrade in nature,
” Sharon adds. Her product is so environmentally friendly that even when it is dissolved, you can
still drink the water. And from this material, packaging can be created for food and drinks. It can
actually be made into anything.
“This really has the potential to solve the plastic pollution problem and make the world a better
and cleaner place,” she says confidently.
India Is Focusing on Solutions for the Plastic Problem
India was the host nation for World Environment Day 2018 – an observance held annually on
June 5. During the conference that focused on plastic pollution, India pledged to phase out
consuming single-use plastics by 2022.
Prime Minister Modi affirmed that “We are at a historic moment. Every age defines its character,
and, each generation is remembered for how it rose together to meet its challenges. Our
generation must recognize and reaffirm our commitment to sustainability and climate health.”
In keeping with his commitment, India has launched a nationwide campaign to begin cleaning
plastic waste from “beaches, national parks, riverbanks, public places . . . thereby reinforcing its
culture of sustainable living.”
India’s commitment can be evidenced, in part, by more than 60 progress reports in 2019 alone
posted on the India Environment Portal. India’s aggressive campaign is part of $139 billion
spent annually to reduce plastic pollution.
Help Is on the Way – from Israel
Inspired by years of research in finding an environmentally-friendly alternative to plastic, a product
developed in Israel by Sharon Barak, a chemical engineer has resulted in the formation of a
new company, Solutum, that will concentrate on “clean tech” beginning with her new biotechnical
solution.
Surely, her biodegradable alternative to plastic will become one of the greatest inventions of the
21st century. With India leading the way to address the global plastic pollution problem, Solutum
may become one of the country’s best partners.
Her eco-friendly compound, AD204, looks like plastic and performs like plastic but is “100%
environmentally friendly” and is biodegradable in water.
What is more, assuming the new material is dissolved in clean water, that water remains safe to
drink after the plastic substitute has liquified.
Her product is as easy to use as plastic and it is just as easy to produce. Manufacturers can
commit to producing the product without additional capital investments because they can use
the equipment they currently have in place.
