I wonder chewing gum. It’s plastic that can be recycled. Did you know that chewing gum is made of plastic before the creation of plastic chewing gum was made from a natural gum from trees. But now it is made from a polymer a type of plastic that also means that chewing gum is a single-use plastic but the good news is that it too can be recycled.
There are companies which take chewed gum and clean it then turn it into plastic pellets. These pellets can be melted down to make new plastic items witch are as good as new they make reusable cups and cutlery from them which further reduces plastic waste. What a great idea.
