In the future, I want to establish and own a plastic alternatives company. I want to make some headway in the fight against single-use plastic. As such, I want to develop recyclable alternatives to plastic and plastic-based products, as well as tech-savvy approaches to help individuals reduce their plastic waste. Besides giving myself a sense of fulfillment by trying to help our beleaguered planet, plastic alternatives also mean big business.
