It hasn't been often that I've thought about the true ramifications of my actions, from cradle to grave of the smashed something.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThere is very little available online covering the impact of ceramic plates, but I did find one study in which they were comparing the use of traditional ceramic plates with biodegradable dishware for use in the University's cafeteria.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EIn their study they didn't include the energy consumption and impacts on the earth from the recovery of raw materials (in their case kaolin, feldspar and quartz).\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cb\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/b\u003E \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ch4\u003ECRADLE IMPACT\u003C\/h4\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ETo understand the impact of these raw materials, I looked at the mining practices behind each of the minerals used in ceramics and their individual environmental impacts.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cb\u003E[KAOLIN]\u003C\/b\u003E Kaolin is located by drilling holes in the earth which can range up to 200 feet in depth. To extract Kaolin, companies have to drill 50-100 holes per 100 acres to find the mineral in abundance and make the extraction. The mining of kaolin is acknowledged to have a negative impact on the environment. According to M.I.T, \"[The] environmental hazards are present during every step of the open-pit mining process. Hardrock mining exposes rock that has lain unexposed for geological eras. When crushed, these rocks expose radioactive elements, asbestos-like minerals, and metallic dust. During separation, residual rock slurries, which are mixtures of pulverized rock and liquid, are produced as tailings, toxic and radioactive elements from these liquids can leak into bedrock if not properly contained.\" \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cb\u003E[FELDSPAR]\u003C\/b\u003E Feldspar, like koalin, is acquired though what is called 'Open Pit Mining'. As M.I.T described above there are toxic and radioactive elements from this mineral which can leak into the bedrock during this process. With fedspar, the primary pollutant of concern is pariculate matter (PM) which is emitted during the processing, crushing, grinding, screening, drying, material handling and transfer operations. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cb\u003E[QUARTZ]\u003C\/b\u003E Quartz shares the same mining processes as kaolin and feldspere but has the added negative impact on miners themselves as the dust produced during drilling, blasting and shovelling omits toxic gasses and sut which may cause lung cancers and development of chronic silicosis. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ch4\u003EPRODUCTION IMPACT STORY\u003C\/h4\u003EIn ceramic dishware production, once the minerals are extracted, they're mixed with water to prepare the dough, which is then casted, moulded and pressed using machines and fired in a kiln at 1260˚C. It is then given a coat of glaze (which is made up of chemicals itself and has its own negative impacts in its production) and fired once again in the kiln. The finished dinnerware is then packed in corrugated cardboard boxes and transported. This process overall uses a huge amount of electricity pulling further from the earths resources, on top of that, approximately 1050ml of water was consumed to create a 9\"commercial dinner plate, amounting to a magnitude of environmental impacts surpassed that of biodgradable plates across all impact categories: carcinogens, respiratory organics and inorganics, climate change, radiation, ozone layer, ecotoxicity, acidification\/eutrophication, land use, minerals, fossil fuels.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ch4\u003EGRAVE IMPACT STORY\u003C\/h4\u003E(from the ceramic sustainability study) Ceramic ware is usually discarded when it is damaged to such an extent that it can no  longer be used. As ceramic plates are subjected to very high temperatures while firing and glazing, meaning they are heat resistant. Therefore, they can't be broken down by an incinerator (which is good in some ways as they won't omit emissions in that process) but will find themselves living the rest of their lives in the landfill.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ch4\u003E[OPTION 1: ENAMELWARE] \u003C\/h4\u003EThis style of tableware brings visions of cowboys drinking coffee on the open range but this style of creation was developed by the ancient Egyptians and will last you multiple lifetimes for sure.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ch4\u003E[OPTION 2: BAMBOO] \u003C\/h4\u003EBamboo can be grown organically and harvested from wild groves (not farmed plantations) and is a sustainable natural resource.Once you're finished with it (and this may take a while) it will break down cleanly when buried.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ch4\u003E[OPTION 3: HUSK] \u003C\/h4\u003EAnother amazing alternative, Husk is made from natural rice husks which would otherwise be burned or discarded. They're dishwasher safe and completely biodegradable and they break down cleanly when buried at the end of their lifetime (they're great for the compost)."},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/blog.lovemae.com.au\/feeds\/975955266407008856\/comments\/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/blog.lovemae.com.au\/2016\/04\/delightful-dinnerware-designed-for.html#comment-form","title":"0 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/3451591057431035481\/posts\/default\/975955266407008856"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/3451591057431035481\/posts\/default\/975955266407008856"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/blog.lovemae.com.au\/2016\/04\/delightful-dinnerware-designed-for.html","title":"Delightful dinnerware designed for duration"}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"Love Mae"},"uri":{"$t":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/profile\/12960443354667518220"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"32","height":"32","src":"\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-xal-k020SKw\/V95SLbBdJrI\/AAAAAAAAC98\/vKODVDOZD2sZJwRIyKhcYIU5QRy0M_FhQCK4B\/s220\/Love-Mae-Logo-WEB.png"}}],"media$thumbnail":{"xmlns$media":"http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/","url":"https:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-FC5oX1bF86s\/VtySZecGItI\/AAAAAAAAFIA\/uqcEIjg52TU\/s72-c\/IMG_4206.jpg","height":"72","width":"72"},"thr$total":{"$t":"0"}},{"id":{"$t":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451591057431035481.post-4169617490155594215"},"published":{"$t":"2016-04-23T06:00:00.000+10:00"},"updated":{"$t":"2016-04-23T06:00:20.732+10:00"},"category":[{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"magazines we love"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"newsletter"}],"title":{"type":"text","$t":"Lunch Lady Magazine"},"content":{"type":"html","$t":"\u003Cdiv\u003E‘There is plenty of  reasons to get the latest \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.hellolunchlady.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ELunch Lady\u003C\/a\u003E magazine… Were voting it the only  magazine we actually read.
