Disposing Of Polymers
Polymers are not biodegradable. Burning polymers often releases toxic fumes.
Recycling polymers saves oil, energy used in making new polymers and space in landfill.
Scientists have produced new polymers that are biodegradable.
Adding biodegradable components into the polymer mixture (like starch grains) helps the polymer break down more easily.
