Is plastic trash choking the Earth with Styrofoam® cups and
fast-food plates? Not really. That's just another misconception.
By weight, plastics make up about 11 percent of America's municipal
solid waste. In comparison, paper makes up about 35 percent.
Of course, plastics are generally very lightweight. When plastics
are buried in a landfill, they occupy about 25 percent of the
space. Putting plastics into landfills is not always the best
disposal method. There are two other alternatives: recycling and
incineration.
These methods recover some of the value from the plastic. Recycling
recovers the raw material, which can then be used to make new
plastic products. Incineration recovers the chemical energy, which
can be used to produce steam and electricity. Landfilling plastics
does neither of these things. The value of landfilled plastic
is buried forever.
PP Polypropylene
Yogurt containers, shampoo bottles, straws, margarine tubs, diapers.
2. Chopping and Washing
The plastic is washed and chopped into flakes.
3. Flotation Tank
If mixed plastics are being recycled, they are sorted in a flotation
tank, where some types of plastic sink and others float.
4. Drying
The plastic flakes are dried in a tumble dryer.
