                    Question 1.
                    \nExplain 4R principle for creating ecofriendly environment.
                    \nAnswer:
                    \nThe 4R principle involves 1) Reduce 2) Reuse 3) Recycle 4) Recover.<\/p>\n

                      \n
                    1. Reduce: Reduce the usage of plastic to avoid its negative consequence on environment. Land filling or plastics and burning of plastics in incinerators in the way of disposal of plastics. These have negative consequence on environment. So reduce the usage of plastic whenever it is possible.<\/li>\n
                    2. Reuse: Articles made of plastic is used again and again for its optimum utilization. There by we can decrease the usage of plastics.<\/li>\n
                    3. Recycle: We can recycle the plastic material from broken plastic material that will decrease the production of excess of plastic.<\/li>\n
                    4. Recover: The principle of recover plays major role in plastic waste management. The solid waste should be converted into resources such as electricity, heat, compost and fuel through thermal and biological means.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                      (OR)<\/p>\n

                        \n
                      1. Reduce: Try to use less plastic material in our daily life.<\/li>\n
                      2. Reuse: Whenever we need to use plastic material, use the same material again and again don\u2019t go for new one every time.<\/li>\n
                      3. Recycle: Instead of throw away the waste plastic material try to give it the vendor.<\/li>\n
                      4. Recover: Aware the people about establishing \u201cgarbage to energy\u201d plant in your area.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                        \nAnswer:
                        \n4R Principle is for creating an eco friendly environment.
                        \n4R = Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Recover.
                        \nReduce: Reducing the usage of plastics by reusing them helps the negative conse-quences on environment.
                        \nReuse: When some things made of plastics are not in use to us, we can give them to others who need them. This helps the negative consequence or environment. This is eco friendly.
                        \nRecycle: In this process, we can obtain a new substance from the old plastics. Recycling can be used to obtain materials from which the original products were made.
                        \nRecover: The solid wastes in which plastics are major should be converted into resources such as electricity, heat, compost and fuel through thermal and biological means.
                        \nIn these ways 4R principle is eco-friendly.<\/p>\n

                          \nAnswer:
                          \nNylon:
                          \nNylon is a polymer made of chemical units called polyamides which contain carbon, oxygen and nitrogen. Polyamides are melted and forced through a heated spinneret which has very, very tiny holes. The size and shape of the holes changes, the characteristics of the resulting fibre. The fibre solidifies as it cool and can be spun or woven.<\/p>\n

                          Rayon:
                          \nThe cellulose that was collected from wood or bamboo pulp, is treated with several chemicals.
                          \nFirst sodium hydroxide is added and then carbon disulphide to the cellulose.
                          \nThe cellulose dissolves in chemicals add to it and gives a syrup called viscose. Viscose is forced through a spinneret, into a solution of dilute sulphuric acid. This gives us silk like threads. The threads are cleaned with soap and dried. This new fibre is called rayon.<\/p>\n

                          Acrylic:
                          \nIt is made from the combination of coal, air, water, oil and limestone. It is spun by either dry spinning or wet spinning.
                          \nIn dry spinning the dissolved polymers are extruded into warm air. The fibres solidify by evaporation. In wet spinning the polymers are dissolved and extruded into a bath and then dried.<\/p>\n
