Peppermint demonstrates a circular economy


It’s not just food which can be sustainable, the products we use whether electrical, furniture or something else can all be broken down to their base elements. This doesn’t mean elements like steel or turning plastic back into oil, it’s more about taking from an item what can be used again such as wires or circuit boards. Some things we can do or reuse ourselves, such as recycling plastic and paper or upcycling an old t-shirt into a bag or something. Other parts or item types we cannot all safely disassemble, such as a computer or TV but they still contain parts even actual elements which can still be used again. Items such as this can be sometimes be sent back to the manufacturer, this along with using fewer materials in the manufacturing process is known as a ‘Circular economy’. Businesses with circular economies are much more sustainable as they need fewer resources and so have more for the future. If more businesses implemented a circular economy the planets resources would be less stretched. #blogging #pepperminthtecandycanezebra #environment #environmintleaf #sustainability #lessisbest #circulareconomy
