PLASTIC RECYCLING, REUSING AND REDUCTION.

I have always been fascinated with the ton of plastic wastes that we churn out daily in to the environment. I have undertaken a study to find a way of innovatively recycling plastics and make them be reusable again back into factories to produce other plastic items. This can effectively reduce the over reliance of production of new plastics but rather recycle the ones already in circulation. Any ideas or machine or equipment for such undertaking.

Only certain types of plastics are recyclable. There is no machine to recycle plastic that cannot be recycled. So it appears the best way is to stop making plastics that cannot be recycled.

CORRECT! They are annoying us to bring plastic to the recycling center, but only r PET beverage containers can be recycled and I wonder how much it pollutes to recycle those things. We should stop using plastic.

@LadyDuck Some plastics are more difficult to recycle and may require more resources or may end up polluting the environment in an attempt to recycle them.

We always recycle our plastics. We also take some soft plastics to the recycle receptacle in our large Tesco. There is not much that we can't recycle which is good.
