plastics recycling

Plastics recycling involves collecting used plastic items, sorting them by type, cleaning, and processing them into raw materials called resins or pellets. These are then melted and remolded into new products, reducing waste and conserving resources. Recycling prevents plastics from ending up in landfills or oceans, reduces environmental impact, and conserves energy compared to producing new plastics from raw materials. Not all plastics are recyclable, so proper sorting is essential. Overall, plastic recycling helps promote sustainability by reusing materials and decreasing the need for virgin resource extraction.
