Plastic product is one of the most
popular and useful materials of modern life. Nowadays we use about 20 times more
plastic than we did 50 years ago. Plastic bottle is one kind of plastics that is
greatly used in our daily life and that can be recycled. According to relevant
statistics, in the USA, 40 billion plastic bottles are produced each year and
mostly are for beverages. Two-thirds of them end up in landfills. In UK, people
use 15 million plastic bottles a day, and 94% of all UK local authorities offer
collection facilities for plastic bottles either through household recycling
collection or at recycling centers.
For the good of environment and save
energy, however, we can reuse and recycle them as many times as possible to
optimize its lifespan. For example, reuse the waste plastic bottles to be
flowerpot, pencil holder, room decoration, and light decoration by cutting,
spray painting on the waste plastic bottle. Use your imagination, you will have
many ideas to create new ways for reusing the waste plastic bottles to be a new
and creative thing.
Other than reuse, waste plastic bottles can be
recycled by some industrial process and then create new plastic which can reduce
the amount of the solid waste going to landfill, reduce the energy consumption,
and reduce the emission of gases like carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
How the waste plastic bottles are recycled?
1. Sort- sorting can be
manually or automatically to make sure all the contaminates are removed.
2.
Compress the bottles into bales by using Hydraulic Baling Machine. (For example,
Sinobaler Long Stroke Baler is a good choice for baling such plastic bottles).
Compressed bales are easier to transport and storage.
3. Shred into small
flakes and wash
4. Melt
5. Pelletize
6. Make new bottles or other
products such as textile fibers.
Start recycling now from your daily
life and make contributions to the world although it seems very little
thing.
