In China the production of plastic products each year, about 20% to 30% are the short life cycle products of plastic packaging products and plastic sheeting, parts of these plastic products become urban solid waste into the waste disposal system after use, and partly was arbitrarily discarded. According to statistics, China’s current annual production of MSW has reached 120 million tons, which accounted for 2% to 4% of waste plastics; According to a survey of Beijing, the production of waste 16,000 tons per day, of which waste plastics account of 5% (about 800t / d), total amount of plastic waste generated each year is about 29 million tons. From the perspective of resource utilization, it is a valuable renewable resources, recycling of waste plastics for energy conservation, reducing waste volume has important social and economic significance in reducing the environmental hazards of plastic containers waste and curb oil price increase.
However, what happen after the plastic recycled at home? For example the plastic containers.
You put your garbage in recycling bank. After that, when recycling bank is full, come trucks and go with garbage to some specialized facilities where is made other rigorous selection, and when we have metal for one side, paper, glass, plastic, all of them separated, they, for example, compressed the plastic containers in baler. There bales are send to a place where are washed, take out the caps, etc…It’s a preparation process. After they are grinding, merge, are send to factories to produce other things.
Recycling is so easy for us, and when we recycle we are helping the trees, the forests, the animals, the world…You save raw materials and make the planet more healthy and less dependent of oil.
