When people are chewing gum, little do they realise the damage they’re doing when they simply ‘throw it away’ without a care in the world onto the surrounding area!.

WE’VE ALL HAD ISSUES WITH ‘GUM’:

• Our kids leaving it around the house!

• Finding gum on the carpet!

THE ISSUES!

• Stuck to parts of furniture!• In the freezer!• Under desks! [especially school]!• On our Pavements and Roads!

Chewing gum lying on the ground, looks like bread to birds and they try to eat it.

Once ingested, the gum ensnares their internal systems and prevents them ingesting any nourishment or water, hence they die a horrible slow death.

VICTIMS! CREATIVE SCOTS

Poor bird above died.it.

• The UK has 28 million regular chewers.• At any given time, 300,000 bits of gum

are stuck to benches and pavements alone in London's Oxford Street.

• The UK Government actually has a Minister for Gum.

• Up to 3.5 billion bits of gum have at one time or another been spat or dropped on to UK streets.

FACTS!

• Each piece of gum dropped costs about 10p to remove.• 92 per cent of the UK’s cities paving stones have had gum stuck to them.

SOLUTION!

PROCESS

FORMULA

LIQUEFACTIONEVAPORATION

Chewing gum is spat out or disposed of without a care in the world, once the gum is ‘out of the mouth’ the chewing gum starts a drying process when exposed to air that in turn starts a liquefaction process and the gum turns to fluid [H2O] within 36 hours the gum vaporises into the atmosphere.

Bio-degradable chewing gum can save our wildlife and billions on an annual basis.
