In many places and counties
now its required for people to recycle or other ways they'll be exposed to fines.
But many people doesn't even know what happens to recycled items. It is hard to
truly understand the impact you are making by decreasing your waste sent to the
landfill.
What Happens to
Aluminium?
Can usually get compacted int
bale, bales get shredded into smalls pieces ad then they get melted inot raw
aluminum materials. The melted aluminum is then molded into new aluminum
materials, including new aluminum cans and aluminum foil.
What Happens to Glass?
Recycled companies Crush
the glass making it small pieces called cullet, it looks like sand. Cullet can
be used in different applications but it can also be melted. The
melted glass is dropped into a glass forming machine where it is poured into
molds, blown with air and shaped into its final shape such as a soda bottle.
What Happens to Paper?
After
being picked up, paper must first be separated by its type. it
is "squashed into large cubes, called bales," and transported to a
processing plant. There, it's chopped and put through several mechanical and
chemical treatments which wash out ink and contaminants, leaving a watery
"slurry." The slurry is then made into new paper products.
What Happens to Plastic?
Plastic
is separated by its resin type, which is printed on the bottom of each item
inside a triangle. It's also separated by shape: plastic bags, for example, are
not processed with milk jugs. After separating, plastics are compressed into
bales and transported to a processing plant, then washed and shredded into tiny
pieces. They can then be melted and molded into new products.
