Here is an idea. We all know the growing concern for plastic bottles and rather than have problems on how to be able to dispose of them, why not recycle them into something useful in homes? Something like a great carpet from the recycled materials? Not a bad idea.
Mohawk Carpet does just that. It collects these used recycled bottles by the bale and then broken up, sorted, chipped, cleaned and then melted. After the whole process is finished, th

This is a truly recycled rug, made from plastic bottles, like the ones that water and soda drinks come in, this makes the rugs very hard wearing and easily to maintain from spillages and other stains.
A true green product that re uses something that would have ended up in the landfill site and take hundreds of years to break down, now that would be great because any reduction in that has to be good news.

I know what you’re thinking, he’s gone completely mad! Well maybe so, but there is this guy who has challenged the ultimate land fill nightmare and has taken 250,000 plastic bottles along with wood and bamboo to support the structure.
There is even a 66ft x 54ft house on the island which is situated in a lagoon near to Puerto Aventuras, South if Cancun on the Caribbean coast of Mexico.
The whole thing took around three years to complete an

Each time we buy bottled drinks in pet or familiar plastic bottles, we are tasked with having to know where to place them after consuming the contents. Normally, people would just place them in trash cans but for some countries such as the Philippines, recycling them for cash is something that brings a smile to the eyes of people collecting garbage for their trouble.
To some, it may not be among the great stuff to do. Sorting out garbage and pl

Well in the City Departments for now, Mayor Gavin Newsom believes that the cities own water supply is just as good as any bottled water and as the State is attempting to become the “Green State” it makes sense that water in plastic bottles is on the hit list.
The ban, which started on The 1st July, will extend to include water coolers too, by the 1st December. It is believed that this move will help prevent global warming and save the taxpay

We are in an age where we use plastic bottles and containers to store goods and consumable items whenever we buy them from the nearest store or supermarket. But after consuming everything that is in it, what do we do next?
If we are careless enough, we drop it on the ground, run over it, walk over it, kick it around, check it out and see what it is and so on. However, if we see no use picking it up, we tend to forget to put it in its place. This

Today through my daily research and surfing, i came across a good article on biodegradability, and just exactly what is the meaning of this commonly used word. The author states several questions should be asked when trying to label a product as biodegradable. Questions such as:
inherent biodegradability of the material?
how long it takes for the material to actually break down?
what exactly does the product or material
