Plastic Alternatives

-

  • We were once a world without plastic so it is possible to completely get rid of plastics all together which means that we as a nation must work together to find more environmentally friendly alternatives.
  • Instead of constantly using plastic water bottles, we can use reusable bottles that we can carry around and refill.
  • We can also begin to use and take reusable bags around with us instead of using plastic bags at stores.
  • Becoming more aware of the products you buy and how you discard of them is important for the environment and people’s health. Always check the type of material and plastic something is made out of before you throw it away.

Plastic is an essential component of many items, including water bottles, combs, and beverage containers. Knowing the difference, as well as the SPI codes, will help you make more informed decisions about recycling. The seven types of plastic include: Polyethylene Terephthalate (PETE or PET) High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) Polypropylene (PP) Polystyrene or Styrofoam (PS) Miscellaneous plastics (includes: polycarbonate, polylactide, acrylic, acrylonitrile butadiene, styrene, fiberglass, and nylon) For the sake of the environment, it’s important to know the different types of plastic and their uses, as well as the resin identification codes found on each. Some of the different types of plastic can be recycled regularly, some others require special places to recycle them and some cannot be recycled at all.

50 percent of the plastic we use, we use just once and throw away. Plastic accounts for around 10 percent of the total waste we generate. The production of plastic uses around eight percent of the world's oil production ( bioplastics are not a good solution as they require food source crops). Annually approximately 500 billion plastic bags are used worldwide. More than one million bags are used every minute. It takes 500-1,000 years for plastic to degrade. If burned it can pollute the air affecting and destroying the ozone layer and effecting the air we breathe, and can pollute the groundwater if in a landfill and wildlife Recycling does not cut down on plastic, it is reused but that process releases more toxins into the air It costs millions of dollars each year to clean affected areas after exposure, not to mention the loss of life to plants, animals, and people. As land becomes more valuable, just finding a place to put garbage is becoming a problem in ma...
