| description | Environmental issues have become hit issues nowadays, as the critical
usage of natural resources can cause damage and destruction to the
environment. Designers and manufacturers currently are searching for and
finding solutions to overcome this major problem. New technologies were
developed to aid manufacturers in developing new materials from discarded
forms or waste materials. In order to save costs, some of the materials were
used in a continuous cycle or it is been used in reiterate order called
recycling or reusing. Wastes can be considered as non – waste when the
wastes are transformed into products giving new functions which will help
in reducing the environmental issues. The recycling process will help in
preserving the environment for the next generation and at the same time
benefiting the economy of the country. The aim of the paper is to determine
and identify the flow and flexibility of recycled materials in physical forms
to enhance their usage in furniture design. |
