Homonym: Disposable (Single-Use)
"Disposable" refers to items designed for one-time use and then discarded. These products are often made from materials that are inexpensive and convenient, such as plastic or paper. Common examples include disposable plates, cutlery, and diapers. The primary purpose of disposable items is to provide convenience and reduce the need for cleaning.
While disposable products offer ease, they also raise environmental concerns. Many of these items contribute to waste in landfills and oceans, leading to pollution and harm to wildlife. As a result, there is a growing movement towards more sustainable alternatives, such as reusable containers and biodegradable materials.
