Plastic
vs.
Wood

Plastic has won a large space in our lives, from teaspoons to auto parts, through an infinite variety of products and applications. Unfortunately the fact of replacing wood with plastic keeps producing large environmental problems.
Is common knowledge that plastic is a nonbiodegradable resource by which a substance is decomposed by a biological natural process. That is why the consequences of their consumption directly affectthe environment causing physical damage, flooding and environmental pollution among others.

On the contrary wood is a renewable asset that does not require polluting processes for production, is biodegradable and has further more superior advantages over plastic, which is contaminating and has serious complications in their recovery and reuse. Wood is a noble material that has irreplaceable cultural, aesthetic and environmental values.
