y ceases, the amount of garbage also does, our current solid waste is increasingly polluti
ng for the environment, because it They are composed of materials that are very difficult
to decompose, such as the plastic that takes to decompose in 100 to 1000 years to decom
pose and the glass around 4000 years, the bags 150 years, among others. In general, we n
ever think, where all the garbage we produce is directed, in our homes, at work, etc. Nor

sue of garbage that the waste is voted without any penalty on the street or where the citiz
en is. Although there are some solutions, regarding the issue, it is still not enough to be a
ble to deal with this growing problem, an alternative way is the industrialization of garba
ge. The excessive use of the bags and in plastic bases, the plastic bags are useful, comfor
