Villalba, G; Segarra, M; Fernández, A.I; Chimenos, J.M; Espiell, F (December 2002). "A proposal for quantifying the recyclability of materials". Resources, Conservation and Recycling. 37 (1): 39–53. doi: 10.1016/S0921-3449(02)00056-3. Plastic recycling is the process of recovering scrap or waste plastic and reprocessing the material into useful products, sometimes completely different in form from their original state. For instance, this could mean melting down soft drink bottles and then casting them as plastic chairs and tables. [77] For some types of plastic, the same piece of plastic can only be recycled about 2–3 times before its quality decreases to the point where it can no longer be used. [6] Physical recycling [ edit ] Those cars currently on the road in the UK will be so for another 8-20 years. Therefore, design now will improve waste recovery many years ahead, not today. Moreover, more than 70% of battery containing products placed on the market in UK (including cars) are made and designed outside UK. Plants are considered limited resources. If a lot of pressure is exerted on these natural resources, they might be depleted fast. The only way to dramatically stop the pressure applied to these resources is recycling. Statistics, according to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, show that recycling one ton of paper saves up about 17 trees as well as 17,000 gallons of water. 3. Reduces Carbon Emissions We know that there is an enormous floating patch of garbage in the Pacific Ocean of the size twice the size of Texas. Eventually, everything finds its way to the ocean. And it’s true that it was entirely preventable. When we recycle the materials, we prevent them from finding their way into the environment where they can be harmful to both people and animals.

Want to save more time

Jump into a fun new universe in Recyclings Run! Join the party, exploring 5 amazing worlds with over 30 Recyclings friends! Collect plastic bottle caps and stop them from going into landfill, and recycle them into new Recyclings - that's plastic made fantastic! It’s a no-brainer that landfills significantly lower property value since nobody likes the idea of living near a smelly landfill. You and your neighbor’s effort to recycle more will mean your city will need fewer landfills, hence, clean surrounding air. The best routine is to recycle each week. 10. One Person Can Make a Big Difference

Recycling takes place in industries. If the act of recycling is ramped up, many recycling plants will be set up. More recycling plants mean more jobs. Statistically, recycling creates 10 times more employment opportunities than landfill waste management. Recycling 14,000 tonnes of waste creates nine jobs, and composting it creates seven jobs, but landfilling it creates just one job. 12. Saves You Money Joint UK government-industry groups, such as the Sustainable Batteries Steering Group ( SBSG), already exist and are working together on the challenges of battery waste reduction and recycling. SBSG is chaired by Faraday Battery Challenge ( FBC) Deputy Director Jacqui Murray and meets quarterly to discuss the latest developments regarding the design and development of more sustainable batteries, including updates on projects which have been supported by funding from FBC. Membership of the group includes representatives from government, universities, research centres and industry. Recycling through the ages: 1970s". Plastic Expert. 30 July 2014.

Retrieved 7 March 2015.As soon as children are old enough to begin tidying away their own spaces, or helping the teacher or parent to clean up, they should be informed about recycling. Critics dispute the net economic and environmental benefits of recycling over its costs, and suggest that proponents of recycling often make matters worse and suffer from confirmation bias. Specifically, critics argue that the costs and energy used in collection and transportation detract from (and outweigh) the costs and energy saved in the production process; also that the jobs produced by the recycling industry can be a poor trade for the jobs lost in logging, mining, and other industries associated with production; and that materials such as paper pulp can only be recycled a few times before material degradation prevents further recycling. [104]

Averagely, every American produces about 1600 pounds of waste every year. Up to 1100 pounds of waste can be recycled every year per person. That represents a half a ton per individual. This means a family of four can minimize waste by more than two tons each year just by the easy task of recycling. 11. Leads to Creation of Jobs Recycling paper and wood saves trees and forests. Yes, you can plant new trees, but you can't replace virgin rainforest or ancient woodlands once they're lost.Recyclate" is a raw material sent to and processed in a waste recycling plant or materials-recovery facility [42] so it can be used in the production of new materials and products. For example, plastic bottles can be made into plastic pellets and synthetic fabrics. [43] Quality of recyclate [ edit ] Lambeth council in London pointed out that "it is 6 times cheaper to dispose of recycled waste than general refuse." So, the more you recycle, and the less you put in the bin, the more money is saved, which should be good for households, businesses and local public services. The UK has strengths in innovation – including in the UKBIC – and, in a range of similar areas, has created the intellectual property that other countries employ. Expected performance and durability criteria, as well as recyclate yields and targets, work best when agnostic to method. Prescribed technical solutions can hamper innovation.
