Many of the materials we encounter in daily life are experienced on a temporary basis - we use them once or twice, and then they're gone. Materials such as packaging foam, bubble wrap, shrink wrap, plastic cutlery, take-out cartons, and paper cups - though lumped together as disposables, have widely varying life cycles. Depending on their material composition, products can decompose over time or remain for hundreds of years.
