Was it something like this?
Chewing gum
manufacturing began in the US in the mid 1800s and has grown to over a $2
billion industry in the US. It is estimated that the US gum chewers chew an average of 370 pieces of gum per year. Sugar‐free chewing gum sales have been increasingly growing. In 2008 alone, the market increased by 12%. In the past few years the industry growth was estimated around 7%. 50% of gum sales in the US are to those in the ages 15-24.
Every year, over 650,000 metric tons of chewing gum waste is produced.
Many countries view gum as litter when discarded improperly - outside trash containers. Chewing gum is not biodegradable. Sticky gum litter causes damage to shoes, clothing, and it pollutes our environment. It is estimated that 90% of gum is carelessly discarded as litter – spat out on sidewalks, in parks, under desks or chairs. Some countries, like Singapore, have already banned gum chewing to reduce gum pollution.
Education regarding proper chewing gum disposal and proper chewing gum etiquette is key to raising awareness around littering and pollution in general. In the UK, gum removal companies charge between £0.45 and £1.50 per square meter for cleanup. In the US, gum removal can cost up to $2 - $3 per piece of gum.
WRAPERZ
The WraperZ product provides a solution to a clean, sanitary and environmentally friendly way to gum disposal. One WraperZ booklet made from a recycled paper and containing 10 wrapping papers can cost as little as a few cents. Wrapping a used chewing gum in a piece of paper and disposing of it properly may seem like too much work, too much effort and something the chewers simply don’t feel like having to worry about. It is, however a step in the right direction, the step in an environment free of chewing gum pollution.
Will you join the revolution of freeing our environment of gum pollution?
