EvaluationIn my opinion, I believe Poly (ethene) is a very useful and effective polymer, which we humans couldn't live without. Due to its properties, so many products nowadays, consist of it. Despite the fact that Poly (ethene) can be recycled and reused, it is not an environmentally friendly resource, as it takes hundreds of years to decompose in landfill sites and consists of crude oil, which is a non renewable source of fuel. The production and burning of this material, produces Carbon Dioxide, which contributes to global warming and the melting of the ice caps. With this in consideration, I believe there should be a more eco friendly alternative, which still achieves the same purposes. |
