In this class we explored a lot of sustainability and eco-friendliness related topics and I would like to take this opportunity to show my work. My main topic of inquiry is hemp plastics. we all know that plastic pollution is one of the biggest environmental problems, and plastic products have doubled in recent decades. In order to do a good research, I used different methods, firstly I listed the questions I wanted to figure out, secondly I started to use Google and Google scholar as my main search engine, and I read a lot of professional articles, collected relevant data, and also looked at relevant practical application examples. I also read a lot of professional articles to collect relevant data, and read relevant examples of practical applications.
Hemp plastic is a clean alternative to the highly polluting regular plastics, they are not made from fossil fuels, they do not produce carbon dioxide when decomposed, and most of them are biodegradable. Most of them are biodegradable, so hemp plastic can help solve the climate crisis. hemp plastic can also be used in many aspects of life. In packaging, hemp plastic has the advantage of being recycled many times over, and in the automotive industry it has the advantages of being lightweight and strong. In packaging, hemp plastic has the advantage of being recycled many times over, and in the automotive industry it has the advantages of being lightweight and strong, thus contributing to fuel efficiency, and interior door panels, dashboards, and rear parcel shelves are also made of hemp-plastic-based materials by many car manufacturers. plastic-based materials. In construction, it is stable, sound and heat insulating, will not burn or mold, and is safe from rodents and pests.
Renewable resource, biodegradability, carbon footprint, reduced dependency on fossil fuels, recycling, versatility are some of the links between hemp plastic and sustainability. SUSTAINABILITY connection, so we can know that hemp plastic has more significant environmental benefits than traditional plastics and can be used as a product of sustainable development, but but hemp can’t replace plastic completely. Firstly there are economic challenges that need to be overcome and there is a lack of necessary production facilities dedicated to hemp plastic and suitable recycling facilities. Secondly educating consumers about the benefits of hemp plastic is a must and trying to change their buying behavior to make it more sustainable. This also means that it may take many years from now before there is sufficient production capacity to circulate pure hemp plastics globally.
