Life Cycle of a Makeup Brush
- domesticate or breed goats/sables to have a controlled number of animals instead of hunting in the wild that could lead to their extinction or decline in population.
- Shave the goats/sable at the area that they are hunted in ie. Russia, China, Siberia, Nothern Mongolia
- Do not hunt these animals If they are low in population in a certain area, so some countries would be banned
- Process the fur in the same area so that they do not need to be shipped off to a facility (possibly china) where they have to be cleaned
- Cut the fur in the same place where they were hunted to save all that fossil fuel!!
- Now ship to the facility where they will be handled by the makers
- For the ferrule: mine in an area, but if trees are cut down , plant trees in an old mining area that is not in use anymore
- Process the bauxite in the same area and make it into aluminum
- Instead of using electricity and fossil fuels at the facilities, use natural energy such as wind or hydro.
- Ship the aluminum by boat since It use the least amount of energy
- For the wooden handle; instead of cutting down new trees, use recycled wood material
- If using new trees, cut down older trees so that younger trees are still allowed to grow
- Roll out the bristles by hand and walk it over to the other side of the room instead of using a conveyer belt
- The parts of the bristle that are trimmed off, keep so that they can be used for other products
- Reuse the plastic that holds the bristles together before the ferrule is added
- If the ferrule does not fit, then hammer it down, but don’t throw it awy or melt it down
- Use glue that has been made from leftover waste
- Avoid using airplanes to ship materials to the store
- Put them together in a box in one plastic bag not each individual bags and then in one big bag
- Fill the order into one box if possible
- At the store have them be placed in a clean area so that they do not need more packaging
