Bioplastic Lampshade with Wasted Pumpkin
Replace Plastic to Bioplastic
Plastic materials have contributed greatly to modern people's rich daily life and industrial development with various excellent functions and low prices. However, it is emerging as a serious cause of environmental pollution, such as leakage of environmental hormones due to incineration or landfill of large amounts of plastic waste, detection of toxic dioxin, and air pollution due to incomplete combustion of waste. Research on bioplastics is being actively conducted to solve the problem of plastic waste.
Adding a Pumpkin
About 1.9 billion pounds of pumpkins are grown each year in the US. Many are carved, decorated, and set on porches for Halloween. A few days after Halloween, they are thrown in the trash - around 1.3 billion pounds of pumpkins end up in landfills yearly.
