BACKGROUND
Waste incineration eradicates paper and plastics in landfills and causes a combustion reaction Recycling is important because the combustion reaction lets out very harming chemicals that are dangerous to humans. Combustion Chemical Reaction: ? + 2O = CO + 2HO

PURPOSE
The purpose of this project is to be ecofriendly. To help reduce pollution and global warming. The fact that this project is created from recycled material means that we are helping conserve the environment and save energy. This product is not only helping the world but is also saving money and it is reducing waste products in garbage lots.

PROCEDURES
Materials: plastic bags and straw We first gathered all the material needed from the trash can. 1. We then cut the plastic bags into thin shreds and knitted them into a small chain and continued from there to form the purse shape. 2. We then used some plastic straws for the handles that we also covered in shreds of plastic bags and attached it to the purse.

DOING THECALCULATIONS

The type of plastics that we used was Polyethylene. The amount of moles we had was 3.357.

THE FINALE
In the end about 25 bottles of 2 liter sodas could fill up the amount of gases that our product couldve produced if burned. So some easy ways in which we can reduce trash is by recycling it and making something good out of it, like a bag or a eco jacket.
