• En muchos lugares, por la compra de un producto, a uno le entregan una bolsa plástica para
llevarlo.
• Algo muy sencillo sería no botar inmediatamente esa bolsa y utilizarla, por ejemplo, como bolsa
para la basura.
• Por ejemplo, cortándolas por la mitad y usándolas como maceteros para cactus u otras plantas.
• O para proteger plantas pequeñas, haciéndoles hoyitos y poniéndolas sobre una plantita.
INTRODUCTION:
Synthetic polymers are not biodegradable or, if so, would take many years.
A polyethylene bag could take 150 years to degrade.
A polypropylene cup could take 1000 years.
This entails a possible accumulation of toxic waste on our planet and, consequently, an increase in
environmental deterioration.
Therefore, the problematic present in the manufacture of synthetic polymers, is the almost null
possibility of being degraded by the environment, after its use.
This puts us in the following dilemma, we can not do without these polymers, but we can not abuse
them by polluting our planet.
In this context, we could reduce the negative effects that the accumulation of waste associated
with synthetic polymers would produce.
One way to do this is by reusing some products. Another is recycling.
Here are some examples and suggestions.
In many places, for the purchase of a product, one is given a plastic bag to carry it.
Usually, one usually throws away those bags.
Something very simple would be not to immediately throw away that bag and use it, for example,
as a garbage bag.
