Research is being undertaken into finding alternatives to non-biodegradable, oil-based single use plastic items. One alternative being developed is the use of fish waste and algae to make a biodegradable film which can be used in applications such as sandwich packaging (
Some groups of people might find this an unacceptable alternative since it uses animal waste as part of its manufacturing process (vegans, vegetarians, certain religions).
Using the ethical theory of Utilitarianism (taught in the module) justify why this product should be used instead of a standard plastic film, regardless of the objections to its use of animal products.
Using one of the other ethical theories taught in the module (Kant, Human Rights Theory, Relativism) justify why non-biodegradable single use plastics should continue to be used instead of this fish-based alternative.No introduction and no conclusion ist straight to the point
