As there is a large supply of plastics available to all there needs to be a way to dispose of them in such a way as to keep all animals as well as humans healthy. This kind of pollution will affect the oceans, waterways and not to forget the lands. Due to the fact that plastics are not expensive and durable they are used at very high levels by people. Plastic recycling solutions are therefore very important to all who live in this world.

There are two main groups of the polymer family and they are the Thermoplastics and the Thermosets. The Thermoplastics will soften when they are heated and will again harden once cooled. The Thermosets however will always remain hard and can never be re-softened again. Methane also gets released into the atmosphere causing global warming.

Any material or plastics will be collected from designated spots as well as businesses and households and tied together into large bales. Some of them can weigh as much as five hundred and fifty kilograms in weight. Once this has been done the bales will then be transported to a reclaiming company.

From there they will be sorted into different kinds and will then be put into a bale breaker. This is a machine that will shred them into small pieces. Once they have completed that process they will be washed and dried. They will then be melted and the liquid will be made into beads. They are then made into many products including household items, carpets, clothing as well as jewellery and purses. Very seldom are they made back into their original shape and form.

Each container is made up of different chemicals depending on the type. In some cases these toxins can be absorbed into the skin and could cause dermatitis or inflammation of the skin. The symptoms could be recurring rashes, itching swelling as well as bleeding and blistering.

The Phenol formaldehyde is mainly used in the makings of circuit boards as well as the moulded products such as laboratory table tops and pool balls. They are mostly a resin and can be either an acid or base catalysed. When heated to about one hundred and twenty degrees Celsius is becomes very hard with good heat constancy and is chemically invulnerable.

Once can help to recycle them in the home by giving them a good rinse preferably a few times. Remove the caps and any item that is glued onto the bottle. Deposit them into a specially marked bin that can be found on the curb of the road where they will be collected. From there they will be melted down and made into other products to be re-used all over again.
