reutilización de productos, bajo costoAbstract
El largo y complejo proceso de degradación de los polímeros sintéticos presenta grandes desafíos ecológicos en todo el planeta. Podemos ver impactos directos día a día en la acumulación excesiva de plásticos que muchas veces terminan en su incineración, lo que a su vez contribuye a la contaminación y deterioro del medio ambiente. Aunque varios gobiernos alrededor del mundo han venido desarrollando programas que promueven alternativas a la reducción de residuos a través del reciclaje, la realidad es que estos programas muchas veces no son efectivos ya que no son acordes a las necesidades y accesibilidad de los consumidores. Una alternativa que puede estar más al alcance de los individuos es la de reutilización de productos.
Es posible reutilizar una amplia variedad de productos hechos con materiales como vidrio, papel, plástico, y metales entre otros. Para promover la reutilización, este manuscrito presenta una tríada de ideas para reutilizar varios productos con el fin de abordar problemas simples reales tales como mitigar las altas temperaturas en interiores, iluminar estéticamente jardines y pasillos en una casa, o bien dar soporte físico a macetas o sillas.
