Know your sustainable terms this Earth Day.
there are a lot of sustainable terms to know. There are even some emerging ones: Meet plastic neutral. You may know carbon neutral and plastic-free—as in companies that rightfully boast about their carbon neutral or plastic-free production or supply chains—but plastic neutral might just be the new sustainable buzzword for companies looking to help protect the environment.
Plastic neutral is when a company recovers and recycles the same amount of plastic it uses. It’s unlike plastic-free, when a company uses no plastic, in that a plastic neutral commitment acknowledges that a company uses plastic and then takes action to appropriately recycle the same amount of plastic.
Carbon neutral, plastic neutral, and plastic-free are all different methods of reaching the same goal: reducing a business’ impact on the environment. For that reason, Jezienicki says it’s important to consider how companies you know and love are doing their part to curb climate change, but shopping only plastic or carbon neutral or plastic-free companies will prove difficult. “There is no perfect company,” she says.
