The dispose step refers to the final stage in the product lifecycle where items are discarded or removed from use. This step involves the disposal of products, materials, or components through methods such as landfilling, incineration, recycling and etc. The dispose step in the linear production system often highlights the linear nature of resource consumption and waste generation, where products are manufactured, used, and then discarded without significant consideration for resource conservation or environmental sustainability.

United States is the country that most generates trash, its produced around 42 million metric tons of plastic annually, which translates to 287 pounds of plastic per capita.

The United States used to export their plastic to China but in 2017 the China government imposes requirements. What made the U.S with a big problem , the country was unable to organize it self with that many trash, as result, many municipalities stop their plastic recycle programs and sent all the trash to landfills or incinerators.

How recycle helps the environment

By recycling our materials, we create a healthier planet for ourselves and future generations. As well, if he trow the trash at the streets this will destroy our nature. And we are saving energy, by reusing a project and not producing a new one.

Recycling is the process of collecting and reusing materials that would otherwise be thrown away as trash. Recycling can benefit your community, the economy, and the environment. By doing recycle we reduce the need to use the raw materials.

The problem with INCINERATION🔥

luccacaldas — 2024-04-15 13:45:28 UTC

What is Incineration: Incineration is a waste treatment process that involves the combustion of waste materials. The process converts waste into ash, flue gas, and heat.

The Problem: When you incinerate waste all the toxines used to produce it are released in the air, and even worse it can create super toxins like dioxine, which are more toxic and dangerous.

Dioxin: Most dangerous substance know by man.

Landfiling

luccacaldas — 2024-04-24 23:33:30 UTC

What is landfiling: Landfilling is a waste disposal method where solid waste is buried underground in designated areas called landfills. Landfills are commonly used for non-recyclable and non-compostable waste, such as household trash, construction debris, and industrial waste.

The problem with landfiling: Landfills can contaminate soil, water, and air. Toxic chemicals and gases can leach from the waste and seep into the surrounding environment, polluting groundwater and emitting harmful greenhouse gases like methane.

Reverse Logistic

patrickliberman — 2024-04-25 18:26:16 UTC

Reverse logistics is a stage in the supply chain in which the product is returned from the point of sale to the manufacturer or distributor for recovery, repair, recycling, or disposal.

By using reverse logistic, the company doesn’t need to waste and use more raw material, as they can reuse the materials from the old product.

One way to solve

The world's longest burning light bulb is located in Livermore! It was first installed at the fire department hose cart house on L Street in 1901.

A lamp that lasts 100 years. This would help alot cause you would not need to change light bulbs all the time reducing waste that is bad for the enviroment
