Too Much Non-Recyclable Materials Used in Shipping - A Think Tank Topic

Most of the shipping materials used in the box for the protection of the content in the package can be recycled, but not all, and certainly not enough. Perhaps the biggest culprit of styrofoam. There are many types of plastic shipping materials used, and the most that can be recycled, unfortunately most never ending in meter recycled, rather just got dumped or disposed of in the trash rather than made in plastic bags or something of that nature.

There is a compelling speaker at TED recently posted in July 2010 by Eben Bayer: "mold was the new plastic?"and explain the concept; "Eben Bayer product designer reveals the recipe for a new packaging material, based on mushrooms that fragile things like furniture, plasma screen--and protect the environment." Please see this video on YouTube or the TED Video sites so that you together with the rest of this conversation can follow below.

This is a revolutionary concept, praise indeed for this man and the company.Well, I have a question. What if the derivative of the wheat crop residual waste is used for the delivery of organic materials, but have a wheat Ug99 fungus, and then end up in the process, but it ended then sent around the world?

-Do not make the problem of harmful or invasive to all parts of the world thanks to the supply chain product delivery around the world?

-How can the challenge be treated?

-What if the process is duplicated in all of the nation for delivery of materials, and different areas use different plant waste substances, according to some bacteria, viruses, etc.?

I am also concerned with the price of shipping materials as an entrepreneur?

-What is the difference in price, whether You are competitive?

-How close to the price of shipping point for this new organic materials, such as that is the point of sale or not?

For this question can be answered desires of logistics and shipping industry, this sounds like a winner to me. If not, we have to think about this strategy and finding a solution to make it better, cheaper and safer. As coordinator of a thinker who operate things online like this intrigue me and it shows that the human spirit and innovation is alive and well.

We must make use of such solutions as us world problems to solve, so I hope you'll consider what I have said here today. Please think about it.
