Recycling

The plastic recycling is the technique of recovering scrap or waste plastics and reprocessing the material in to useful products, sometimes different from its original state. For example, this could mean melting soda bottles after casting and plastic chairs and tables. Before recycling, plastics are sorted according to their resin identification code, a method of classification of types of polymers, which was developed by the Society of Plastics Engineers in 1998.

Paper recycling

Paper recycling is the technique of recovering waste paper and remaking in to new paper products. There's two categories of paper that can be used as raw materials for the manufacture of recycled paper: mill broke, waste before consumer and post-consumer waste.

Pre-consumer waste is material discarded before it was ready for consumer use. Post-consumer waste is material discarded after consumer use, such as elderly magazines, elderly telephone books and mixed residential paper.Paper for recycling is called "waste paper

facts and benefits of Recycling

By recycling 1 plastic bottle not only saves between 100 and 1000 years in landfill, but also protects the environment from emissions in the production of new bottles and oil used to produce this bottle. For every 1 ton of plastic that is recycled saves the equivalent of 2 people energy use for 1 year, the amount of water used by 1 person in 2 months time and almost 2000 pounds of oil.Odd as it seems that there are many people do not realize that bottled water comes in plastic is made from petroleum. This is the same oil used to produce gasoline. It's the same oil that is in such high demand and is not an unlimited resource. Today the most common products in the cities are recycling programs for paper products, cardboard, plastic, glass and aluminum, .
