To sum up, using plastic covers on mattresses and pillows may help reduce the frequency of asthma
attacks in children. It is also important to consider the child's age, as it can affect how often asthma
attacks occur. For children with allergic asthma triggered by house dust mites, it is recommended to use
plastic covers on their mattresses and pillows and maintain a clean indoor environment to further decrease
the frequency of asthma attacks. (Ratih and Santosa, 2005)

Recycling plastic pillows is an increasingly important issue as plastic waste is becoming one of the
biggest environmental threats of our time. Plastic air pillows are commonly used to protect fragile items
while in transit, but unfortunately, these materials often end up in landfills along with other single-use
plastics. (Lancen, 2023)

These days, it's hard to go anywhere without seeing plastic garbage littering the streets. People often
express a desire for a better environment, but they don't always take the necessary steps to make it
happen. Recycling is a simple and effective way to help save our environment. One idea is to use plastic
to make pillows, which is not only affordable but also opens up a world of possibilities for creative reuse.
By recycling instead of throwing things away, we can make a positive impact on the environment and
create a better future for ourselves and future generations. (Alacon, et al., 2020)

Recycling is an easy way to help conserve nature. Anyone can do it, for it isn't difficult. You can also re-
use things and turn them into something creative and useful again. You might have heard of the slogan,
"There is gold or money in garbage." If your household, or maybe your neighborhood, uses a great deal of
plastic wrappers, you can make something new out of them. If you love pillows or would like to give a
customized present while you help reduce waste, read on to learn how a foil pillow is made. It is easy and
