Why recycle ice cream sticks

1.1 Avoid the waste of forest resources

With the rapid development of human civilization, the level of urbanization is rising rapidly, but rapid economic growth is bound to lead to the gradual deterioration of the environment. In 1990, the global forest resources were about 4.128 billion hectares, but by 2015, they had decreased to 3.999 billion hectares, which shows that the forest resources are decreasing rapidly. Ice cream stick is made of wood, so it is recycled, and after careful disinfection and cleaning treatment can be put into use again, which will greatly reduce the feeling of wood, is conducive to the protection of forest resources, and avoids unnecessary waste.

1.2 Belong to environmental protection materials

Wood is an environmentally friendly material compared to plastic, so the ice cream stick made of birch has a strong recyclable ability. After the used ice cream stick is recycled, it can be used for a variety of purposes, whether it can be used to make some simple models, it can be used to compost to enhance soil fertility, and it can be used to make simple flower holders.

1.3 The impact of sustainable policies

At present, people are facing more and more severe forms of environmental protection, and more and more countries have adopted sustainable development strategies. The recycling of ice cream sticks is exactly the practice of this concept, and the used ice cream sticks are strictly disinfected and cleaned for secondary use, which greatly improves the utilization efficiency of resources and is conducive to the sustainable use of resources.

1.4 Not recycling is bad for the environment

The annual growth rate of garbage in the world is 8.42%, and the annual output of garbage in the world is as high as 490 million tons, which greatly affects the ecological environment and causes great harm to the environment. However, if some of the waste can be recycled and reused, the pressure on the environment will be reduced. Ice cream sticks are the same, if the ice cream sticks are recycled, on the one hand, can avoid the waste of resources, on the other hand, can also reduce the growth rate of garbage, conducive to environmental protection.

1. How to recycle ice cream sticks

1.1 Compost can enhance soil nutrients

Ice cream sticks are made of birch, which is rich in nutrients. Therefore, recycling ice cream sticks and burying them in the soil can promote the formation of a solid grain structure, enhance the ability of soil to retain water, heat, air permeability, and fertilizer, enhance the sustainability of the soil, and facilitate the growth of other plants.

1.2 It can be used to make crafts

Birch has good toughness, so the ice cream bar made of birch also has good toughness and can accept a large degree of bending, which greatly enhances the recyclable ability of ice cream bars. Ice cream sticks can be used to make crafts, especially in kindergartens. Teachers can use ice cream sticks with children to make a variety of models, which not only enhances the children’s hands-on ability but also improves the children’s environmental awareness, and even enhances the feelings between teachers and students.

3. Conclusion

All in all, recycling ice cream sticks is in line with the current concept of environmental protection, but also the practice of sustainable development strategy. It is conducive to the protection of the environment, is conducive to improving the hands-on ability of children, and enhances the harmonious atmosphere of the family.
