2.1.6.2. Polystyrene or expanded polystyrene is more commonly referred to as Styrofoam. It is very difficult to recycle Styrofoam.
2.1.6.3. It Creates Waste. But solid waste isn’t the only thing that’s wasteful about plastic cutlery.
2.1.6.4. Plastic cutlery also takes energy and water to create
2.2. More than 90% of plastic is never recycled, and a whopping 8 million metric tons of plastic waste are dumped into the oceans annually.
2.3. The Caribbean Islands are the biggest plastic polluters per capita in the world.
2.4. Around 20,000 bottles are bought every second which leads to a colossal amount of plastic waste which ends up in the ocean.

2.5.1. Crunch Cutlery
2.5.1.1. Instead of just having eco-friendly spoons, Crunch Cutlery makes edible spoons that are made of superfoods or packed with fruits.
2.5.1.2. You get to curb the problem of single-use plastics and get your nutrition boost from these spoons.
2.6. Why to use Crunch Cutlery instead ?
2.6.1. They are eco-friendly
2.6.2. They're functional
2.6.3. They're delicious
2.6.4. They're nutritious
3. Ways to solve the problem of this SDG

6. Carbon Dioxide Waste
6.1. Cars
6.1.1. Production factories that produce waste making vehicles
6.1.1.1. Burning of fuels like fossil fuels and diesel from vehicles.
6.1.1.1.1. Carbon emissions from fuels are one of the main causes of carbon dioxide waste.
6.1.1.1.2. It is estimated that 9 Gigatons of Carbon per year is approximately the same as 4 ppm per year in which carbon emissions from cars are the main causes.
6.1.1.1.3. With that, the main driving force would be production factories making these vehicles that allow carbon emissions to be put out by the cars being made.
6.2. Motorbikes
6.3. Humans Smoking
6.3.1. Cigarettes'
