Environmentally conscious companies are trying to find innovative ways
to reuse plastic or invest in bioplastics. [TV advertiser] Wheat stalks are just

was not made with plastic, but with cassava, a tropical root
found abundantly in Indonesia. [TV advertiser]
His team has developed a clear film made from crab shells and trees. They believe it could be a biodegradable
alternative to plastic packaging. [narrator] But in the end,
unless the petrochemical companies take more drastic actions to either reduce the amount of plastic
they produce or to invest far more on clean-up, the crisis isn't going away anytime soon. [Ted]
