“Coverstock is the outer shell of a bowling ball. There are four basic types of Coverstocks on the market today: plastic/polyester, urethane, reactive, and particle.”
In the center of a bowling ball, you will unexpectedly find a misshapen weight block, or core, which affects the spin of the bowling ball and how it curves as it rolls down the lane. The weight block is made of a combination of materials, including iron oxide, which is not specifically a recyclable material in some conventional recycling processes.
Baking has been a pastime as much as a tradition in households across the globe for many generations. As necessity dictates, packaging that baking ingredients come in have changed and evolved.
These ingredients have come in everything from tins to sacks, to cardboard boxes. Some containers, however, have gone by the wayside due to environmental and ecological demands.
When an item outlives its usefulness for one person, the decision has to be made to throw it away, recycle it, or give it away to be reused by someone else.
Depending on the item, however, it may not qualify for the recyclable category. As much as we want to recycle certain things instead of throw them away, some products are not recyclable by most conventional processes.
With the dramatic rise in cell phone sales within the past 5 years alone, the question of how to recycle or dispose of them has been brought to the forefront.
Electronic waste has also been somewhat of a dilemma lately. Some feel the definition of electronic waste is “anything with a cord”, while others feel that there are certain components of a product that make them hazardous.
An estimated “56 million newspapers are sold daily. On Sunday, over 60 million are sold.” Where do all of these newspapers go after they are read? Good question.
In an ever-expanding electronic world, a growing number of people read the news on a laptop, tablet, or smartphone. Some people, however, choose to still get an actual newspaper everyday. These newspapers have to go somewhere…hopefully into a recycling bin.
Eggs are generally a staple in every American home. You'll be hard-pressed to find one household in the United States that does no have at least one egg in the refrigerator.
Eggs used to be gathered in a basket or an apron and either used personally or sold to friends and family. Today the production, collection, and sales are accomplished very differently.
3m, the makers of Post-It Notes, is a very conscientious company who has done real-life trials on the
ability to recycle one of their most widely-known products, the Post-It Note.
The Post-It Note, commonly referred to with the genericized term, "sticky note", was invented by accident.
Post-It Notes are "small pieces of paper with a re-adherable strip of glue on its back,
made for temporarily attaching notes to documents and other surfaces. A
unique low-tack pressure-sensitive adhesive
allows the notes to be easily attached, removed, and even re-posted
elsewhere without leaving residue. Originally small yellow squares,
Post-it notes and related products are now available in a wide range of
colors, shapes, and sizes."
