Blog #8 - Greening Awesomeness

             As a company, an important ability to have for your products are to make them 

environmentally friendly. The product and company I chose for this blog is Glad. They’ve created 

a biodegradable composite bin linear, eliminating the plastic one’s results in huge decrease in 

the use of plastic for such a common and useful product. Along with it being biodegradable, 

they’ve added scents to the bin liners to freshen up the smell from the bin while there’s waste in 

it, just a bonus attribute! These bin liners “meet the requirements of municipal compost 

programs, ASTM D6400 standards and are certified compostable by the industry standards.” 

These are such an important product for the environment because they don’t produce any toxins 

when they break down into the ground and create healthy soil on top of that. Glad introduced 

this product to make households more sustainable and environmentally friendly. Joy Delis of the 

marketing section stated, “We are developing products that reflect our sustainability vision.” The 

history of this was originally developed for Australian households and give them better options to 

make sure plastic composite bags were used far less to reduce the carbon footprint. This shows 

that many more companies can develop products that can completely remove the use of plastic, 

an idea that it simple and extremely effective for the environment.

This week’s blog allows for freedom to choose a product, business or service that is new in 2022. For this week’s blog, I’ve decided to expand and explain the Biodegradable Bamboo Charcoal Dental Floss product, created by Me Mother Earth. This product contains biodegradable bamboo fiber, is plastic-free and is sold in a “glass jar that can be recycled or reused infinitely.” The floss eventually breaks down completely within 60-90 days. Traditional dental floss is plastic that obviously doesn’t break down and causes harmful health problems for ocean life and can even result in deaths. Me Mother Earth is producing a product that is already a worldwide household item but are providing a much safer and environmentally friendly option for people to help the earth become greener. Eliminating all the plastic from the traditional dental floss will only benefit the environment and also raise awareness for ocean life protection.  References:  Photo & Info: https://www.bestproducts.c...

                   For my transportation practice that has made its way into production, it’s the Smart Bike. The Smart Bike was designed in China, and it is an autonomous bike that has been expressed as a “versatile cargo vehicle”. The Smart Bike also has the ability to listen to commands you say to it along with “sensors that help the bike avoid obstacles and maintain balance.” This bike could be a ginormous success within the next few years because of its convenience, ability to avoid obstacles and self-drive itself. Yes, bikes have been around for hundreds of years, but for some people the safety that comes with this bike, its environmentally friendly attributes and cargo space will allow for people to make an easy switch from their cars on a day-to-day basis. Sometimes, people on bikes have their headphones in and can’t hear if there’s an object coming their way resulting in physical damage. The fact that this is a bike made fo...
