Education is the answer to a more sustainable future rather than blanket negative hyperbole about plastic, a panel hosted by the SRA told the Food to Go conference. Though the demonization of plastic has dominated the sustainable agenda over the past two years, Spencer Craig, co-founder of Pure, said he “rejected the premise of plastic reduction, which in itself is not the answer. It’s about the reduction of single use packaging, but it’s been all put on plastic. Reducing plastic and using a virgin material which can’t be recycled instead is not a solution.”
