Land and seas around the world,from high mountains to deep oceans,have become polluted with plastic,prompting major public concern.The world has produced about 8 billion tonnes of plastic since the 1950s and demand is still rising. While some waste plastic is recycled,much of it is burnt to produce electricity, resulting in carbon emissions that drive climate change.In contrast to plastic made from oil,plastics made from plant-based materials only release the carbon the plants absorb from the air as they grow.Bioplastics will also give more options for products that biodegrade in the environment,although they can be made very long-lasting if required. "Plastics are an incredible enhancement to our daily lives,"said Paul Mines,CEO of Biome Technologies in the UK,which has spent f 5m in the last five years on bioplastics research."But we can't go on using fossil fuel-based materials.About 6%-7%of every barrel of oil is used to make plastics." Using plant materials is feasible,said Professor Simon,at the University of York.Replacing half of the nation's plastic bottles could be done by using just 3%of the sugar beet crop,5%of wheat straw or 2.5%of food waste,he said. Currently,just a few thousand tonnes of bioplastics are used in the UK each year, compared to millions of tonnes of conventional plastic.Mines said this could rise to about 20,000 tonnes in the next five years. 1.Why are high mountains and deep oceans mentioned in paragra
