Recycling Company Plastic recycling is the process of recovering scrap or waste plastics and reprocessing the material into useful products. The use of plastic products has several environmental impacts which include the high use of significant resources such as primary fossil fuels, the production of harmful wastes and emissions, an uncertain impact of chemical stabilizers and colorants on human health, the lack of landfill space due to non-degradable plastics and the accumulation of plastic litter. Even though there are so many disadvantages of using plastic products, the world's consumption has increased to 100 million tons from around 5 million tons in the 1950s and therefore production has increased to about 20 times more today than 50 years ago. Of the 80% of post-consumer plastic waste, only 7% gets recycled even though the rate of consumption increases by almost 4% every year in Western Europe. Plastic recycling is carried out at a recycling company using one of the following processes: plastic process scrap recycling, post-use plastic recycling, mechanical recycling, or chemical or feedstock recycling. There are about 50 different groups of plastic with many different varieties but all types are recyclable. The most common types are polyethylene terephthalate (commonly known as PET), high density polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, low density polyethylene, polypropylene and polystyrene and other plastics that do not fit into these categories. These plastics are sorted according to a resin identification code and are melted down to make plastic lumber, tables, truck cargo liners, trash receptacles, stationery, silage bags, toys, mulch film and other durable plastic items. Recycled plastic produces fewer dioxins, less sulfur dioxide, less waste and less carbon dioxide and so is environmentally safer than normal plastic.
