The growing number of plastic bottles, papers and plates has given rise to the need to recycle plastic and transform it to more useful items like toys.
Plastic goes through a longer sorting process than most of other recyclable materials because it has to be identified by the resin identification code.
If this is not done carefully, there are high chances that the different mixture of plastic will not mix very well and the resulting mixture may not serve any meaningful purpose.
Plastic is not only useful in its pure form but it also serves as a source of raw material during the process of recovering steel scraps.
It is used to produce carbon.
Heat compression is a new technological advancement in Australia, Japan and USA that sees to it that the process to recycle paper is successful.
It works by by compressing all unsorted plastic materials together and the heat generated from the friction of the plastics rubbing against each other is so much such that the plastics just can't afford not to blend.
One major challenge that is yet to be dealt with is the energy consumption during the process.
Companies that deal with recycle of plastics prefer to work with high density polythene which although consumes a lot of energy in terms of petroleum to produce is of high quality, very expensive but highly demanded the local and international markets.
Its recycling generally means less waste, less carbon and less sulfur dioxide.
This in return means more safety for our environment and less resource wastage.
