Network optimization data:
Disordered waste management has resulted in people improperly disposing of raw materials on a daily basis. Biodegradation technology has greatly improved the way we deal with waste; There are now garbage, recycling and compost bins that can optimize the disposal process. However, if these waste streams are often mixed up, the disposal process is not optimized at all.
Biodegradable and compostable materials have been developed to ensure that more human waste can decompose and return to its original state, or add nutrients to the ground in the case of compost. If compostable products are thrown away, instead of sending the compost to a landfill, these inventions and efforts will go to waste. Therefore, it is important for citizens to understand these differences in order to handle the material correctly and efficiently.
Environmental and social impacts:
Plastic pollution can cause serious harm to the health of wildlife. Animals often mistake plastic for food and cause their intestines to bend. Plastics contain slowly degradable chemicals such as PCBs, nonylphenol and pesticides that are released into the environment and then absorbed by wildlife.
