Question

Need help finding a product to replace that would be more environmentally friendly. For example, common store polyethylene plastic bags, straws, aluminum/steel cans. Essentially these could be considered as the packaging products. I'd prefer that the product isn't straws or so common. Please cite where the information was given also. Here are some of the things that I am looking for:

1. What the material is made out of?

---> Like High-density polyethylene (HDPE) is made from common plastic containers which aren't good.

2. A description of what the material is used for in a specific application

----> Other ways the material is used. Like how HDPE is used for plastic containers I guess?

3. Properties of the material that makes it more environmentally friendly.

4. Explain the pros and cons of each material

---> If you could go into depth about this part that would be great.

I was thinking about replacing HDPE products which are basically in a lot of beauty products, but anything that generally has more information on will do fine. If you can show the sources that you used too, that would be great. The more the better. But anything will work. Thanks!
