Reduce Reuse Recycle - The problem

Recycling is a very important part of society in order for the society to sustain its self and keep developing. This idea inspires a goal for my product as I would like to aim to construct the product mainly from recycled resources. There are also many benefits to recycle, such as how it reduces the cost of the accessory and it even on a large global scale, can contribute to reducing land fills, preserving wildlife and even stabilizing the climate. There is about 1.5 tons of solid waste produced per year which accumulates over many years and decades.
