Abstract: Plastic usage has been increasing in many consumer products. After usage most of the products are not recycled for the plastic. This may be due to lack of awareness to the people who use it or due to lack of proper recycling facilities. Plastic pollution is increasing day by day. Though it is a known fact plastic usage can’t be completely eliminated due to their attractive characteristics and easy processing methods. Plastic pollution not only affects human life by lying in the soil but also affects adversely marine life and can cause tremendous changes in climate. This paper aims to modify the design of plastic consumer products so that plastic pollution on the earth can be minimized with minimum usage of plastics.
I. INTRODUCTION
The kit discussed here consists of a single stem, with threads on one of its ends. The ordinary tooth brush that we use daily can be found in this kit, with a difference that it will be only a head of the brush with internal threads under it.
For brushing of teeth we need to screw in the head to the threads on the stem. Here there will be a comb without handle, but with a hole having internal threads. For using the comb we need to screw in the to the stem. A razor head which holds the blade will also be here without handle. This head like the brush, comb heads has a hole with internal threads.
For using it as a razor, we need to screw the head after placing the blade in it, to the stem. The last function of the kit that the products in it supply is the function of a pen. The stem can be supplied as a pen.
Getting the pen from the kit:
For using the brush from the kit, first we have to carry out a simple assembly. Take the stem from the kit, which is nothing but a pen with a hole on its one of the end. Here it will be on the opposite side of the writing tip. Then take the brush head from the kit. Now we need to screw in the brush head to the stem.
