fast growing
pine, spruce and fir have low energy
wood labelled FSC is sustainable

is socially sustainable
economically sustainable as it contributes to economy
some plastics can be recycled

if plastic can not be recycled then its calorific value can be recovered through energy from waste from waste plants
environmentally unsustainable through the process of making it
sustainable plastics made with renewable, compostable and reclaimed materials
high quality and low cost
can be melted down, reshaped and reused
manufacturing processes
good and effective machines
fully automated, process complex information quickly, perform intricate operations, precise, faster than a human
recycle
rethink, reuse, reduce, refuse, recycle, replace
home recyclable waste
cardboard, wood, paper, metals, recyclable plastic
glass bottles can be melted down and reused, also can be washed and reused
metals are recyclable as they can be shaped and reused

cost
deals
greatest product exposure for the least amount of financial investment. buy a good quality machine and use it lots
renewable energy
HEP, wind, solar, motion, biomass, hydrogen and fuel cells, geothermal
natural fibres
are an alternative to materials that we use
pineapple, coconut, hemp, banana
rethink
minimize the amount of waste you create
think of a way to solve the problem that is less damaging to the environment
reduce
reduce the amount of materials wasted
help protect resources
