Bottles That Chemically Breakdown

Submitted by elmacaskru on Wed, Jun. 25, 2008

So, I am sure the technology is out there - but, how about a bottle that naturally breaks down after use....I know alot of bottles are made from re-cycled plastic, glass, etc...but, why not a bottle that just decomposes after its use. Just a thought.

Bottles that Breakdown

We are learning the value of our limited petroleum resources more and more each day. Why would we invest the time, energy, money, and other resources to make a product (be it a plastic bottle, a plastic bag, or anything else) just to have it breakdown?

If we are to increase the sustainability of our civilization, we must learn the importance of conserving our resources by reducing our consumption of them, reusing them, and recycling them. Throwing them away, either by putting them in a landfill or by letting them decompose, is just a waste.
