PRODUCING BIODEGRADABLE MATERIAL AND RE-USING
PRODUCING BIODEGRADABLE MATERIAL These are materials that are broken down through natural biological processes
Biodegradation is the chemical breakdown of materials by a physiological environment Plastic bags: 12 a 20 years. Cristal bottle: cerca de 4000 years. Wooden socks: 1 a 5 years. Orange peel: 6 months. Banan peel: 2 a 10 days. Roap: 3 a 14 months. Milk boxes(Tetra PACK): 5 years. Wooden sticks: 2 a 3 years. Paper: 2 a 5 months. A decaying peach over a period of six days. Each frame is approximately 12 hours apart, as the fruit shrivels and becomes covered with mold.
RE-USE It´s to use an item more than once (for the same function or for a new function)
RE-USING Advantages: • Save money • Save energy • Save resources • Reduces disposal needs • Disadvantages: • Requires cleaning and transportation • Products need to be more durable • Some products need to be less energy efficient ( infant auto seats)
RECYCLING Recycling differs from reuse in that it breaks down the item into raw materials which are then used to make new items, as opposed to reusing the intact item. For all these we think that the way to go is:
