How Engineers Can Help Reduce Unnecessary Plastic Pollution

Ways technologies are helping beat plastic pollution

With the passage of time, the dependence of humanity on plastic grows. It is lightweight, flexible, inexpensive, and durable. It uses in everything from grocery bags to 3D printed rocket nozzles. Plastic retains some of the most attractive qualities in any material.

How long does it take for plastics to biodegrade?

Petroleum-based plastic does not biodegrade with the rest of the organic material mixed in with garbage. Bacteria break down the organic waste into other useful compounds. However, bacteria would not decompose plastic. Due to this, anyone can believe that plastic will never biodegrade.

In fact, all the plastic that has been produced since its invention is still around today. Almost everything we touch is made of plastic. Humans have already produced 8.3 billion metric tons of plastic in whole and production is set to increase.

New symbols for recycling

The challenge of recycling for the students of Engineering Colleges was to design a symbol in 3D CAD that connects people to waste. However, the multi-dimensional symbol illuminates a multi-dimensional problem that requires multi-dimensional solutions. The symbol includes mounting holes in the back, so it can be hung on a wall.

It reminds them that the waste is a multi-dimensional problem and seeing and feeling a representation of the trash created daily will help them to think more globally. Everyone needs to forego immediate gratification if they ensure the long-term survival of the Earth.
