Transform Trash Into Treasure Through Recycling Plastic Magic

Understanding the Recycling Process

The recycling of plastics involves several crucial steps. Initially, plastics are collected and sorted by type and color. This sorting is vital because different types of plastics have different recycling processes and end uses. Once sorted, the plastics are cleaned to remove any residues or contaminants. The cleaned plastics are then shredded into smaller pieces, which can be melted down and molded into new products. This process not only saves energy compared to producing new plastics but also reduces the demand for raw materials².
