Recycling Greywater: Can Plants Tolerate It?
R
Make your own paper, test it, and rate its quality, using either recycled paper or plant fibers as the source material. R Used coffee grinds can be recycled, add value to improve plant growth and help the environment. R Which type of paper decomposes the fastest? S Determine if a flammable gas can be produced from decaying garbage. R Converting Fruit Waste into Energy: The Effects of Pectinase on the Degradation of Fruits R Get hydrogen from organic waste and anaerobic bacteria as a clean energy source. R Which kind of paper will make the best recycled paper? R S Determine if an average family can support its home's fuel needs by converting its organic garbage into alcohol fuel. R Determine which cellulosic waste material contains the most glucose which could be converted into ethanol. R Will biodegradable plastic spoons decompose in common environments? R Study auto body plastic filler (ABPF) and see if it degrades, and how it may affect the environment, landfills, water system, soil and the degradation of other materials. S Investigate the compression, reuse, and recycling of Styrofoam. S Recycling Background |
