subject: The Recycling Of Post Consumer Plastics [print this page] The recycling of post consumer plastics is a relatively recent phenomenon which is rapidly growing in importance due to growing popular support for recycling and the increased use of plastics in such consumer items as pop bottles and milk bottles. The support is shown in such programs as the widespread "blue box" curbside collection programs, which have been encouraged by greater popular concern for environmental issues, legislation and the increasing cost of waste disposal by land fill. The result is a rapidly growing supply of post consumer plastics for recycling by plastic recycling line .
Plastic bottles are everywhere and they make it much easier for us to get the products we want in lighter bottle than glass. It is important to the environment that we recycle so that we can keep the plastic bottles out of our land fields.You need to remember that plastic does not go away it will sit in a field and never decompose and this can cause a lot of problems. Greenhouse Gas Emissions can be greatly improved when you recycle and the best part is you will be helping to improve the world we live in.You will also save in many other ways as well such as oil because it takes oil to make those plastic bottles that we use. If instead of throwing them away so they can sit in a land field then you can reuse them and you will use less oil. This is a positive thing because there is only so much oil available to us.
The primary criterion for plastic recycling machines is the purity of the end product. Minute contamination of the recovered plastic can greatly reduce the value of the recovered plastic. Previous plastic recycling technology relies on "float-sink" technology, according to which the target plastic was separated from waste of different specific gravities by grinding the feed material and choosing a liquid of appropriate specific gravity to float off the waste and allow the target plastic to sink, or vice versa. However, this method did not produce an end product of sufficient purity. Recently, hydrocyclones, previously used in mineral separation and other industries, have been applied to plastic separation, and these devices have produced a good improvement over the old technology. For example, European Patent application no. 88112333 published Mar. 1, 1989 discloses a system for recovering plastics which uses a two-stage hydrocyclone step to separate the heavier PET plastics from lighter plastics and other waste. The underflow from the first hydrocyclone in this system feeds the second hydrocyclone and the underflow from the second hydrocyclone is dewatered, dried and sorted.
We can also reduce green house gasses because it takes more energy to make new bottles from oil then to recycle old bottles by pet bottle recycling line . Make sure you have a place in your house that you designated as a bin that the recycled bottles go and this will make it easier for all of your family to get involved.Remember that recycling is a crucial part of saving the world we live in and with making a few changes it is easy to start recycling. It is important to make it fun and get your whole family involved so that they will be making a difference.
