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.
