Apart from being prompted by these anxieties, entrepreneurs are also taking advantage of our current cultural moment and appetite for plastic free alternatives to develop products that are more ergonomic and effective than their less eco-friendly counterparts.

Products such as beeswax food containers, collapsable reusable straws, and silicone sandwich bags are proving to be not only eco-friendly every day items, but highly lucrative and marketable products for consumers craving more sustainable options.
