18 Jan 2022 --- New research compiled by Israeli recycling innovator Ecoams Planet is touting the potential impact its Bakbuk invention could have on global plastic waste. The patented elastic band solution shrinks PET beverage bottles by as much as 80%. The band weighs roughly 0.07 grams, has an elasticity of 700%, and can shrink a bag that typically carries six bottles down to 26. “The knock-on impact for transport, waste systems and emissions could be massive,” Morris Amsellem, founder and CEO of Ecoams Planet, tells PackagingInsights.
