Alternative ways to recycle can make a huge impact on the world we live in. Re:sponsibility is a new biotechnology company that produces high-quality products that are in time, aimed to minimize the footprint we make on our environment. The main areas this company focuses on are: less waste and fewer resources, energy efficient, sustainable packaging and disposal, and less hazardous materials.
There are many other ways to recycle alternatively that many people would never think of. For example, the University of Nevada has researched chickens, and discovered that "chicken feather meal" can create a form of developing bio diesel fuel. There is also the commonly heard of traveling on vegetable oil, where cars run off of used vegetable oils. Each of these alternative ways of recycling will in time, reduce the footprint we leave on the earth.

People who run their cars on vegetable oil usually get their oil from nearby fast food or chinese restaurants. Do they use the dirty oil directly, or do they have to separate it into biodiesel first?
ReplyDeleteThere are alot of ways to recycle, but how do we get people to do those things when they dont believe in it as well?
ReplyDeleteThe chicken feather meal seems like a GREAT idea! Over three billion pounds of waste feathers are left over each year from the poultry industry, and using those could create an enormous amount of energy as well as reducing the waste caused by the poultry industry.

It is amazing how much CO2 will be reduced if we just stop distributing dry ice and oversized boxes.
ReplyDeleteThis is something I think about daily. We have a huge amount of trash, and we don't know what to do with it. It is extremely important that we reduce waste materials and/or recycle these materials. How awesome would it be if our packaging could be used in a variety of ways other than packaging and landfills?
