ยป Challenge 1- #How long until it is gone?
From a sustainability perspective, it's important to know how long it takes various types of garbage to decompose. We should focus our efforts especially on reducing the consumption of products that generate. Waste materials that take a long time into completely breakdown.
Plastics are very attractive to look and cheap to buy.
But to decompose plastic it takes more than a year.
Let's check out a survey how long do these different plastics survive?
1.Cotton- 1-5 months
2.Thread- 3-4 months
3.Tin cane- around 50 years
4.Plastic bottle- 70-450 years
5.Polythene- 500 - 1000 years
6.Brush- 400 years
