Waste Plastics
Plastics have been a part of our lives already for several decades. Large amounts of plastic waste generated every day can be normally recycled into the secondary raw material. Recycled plastics can be used for technologically less demanding products than it were originally used. A large percentage of plastics are recycled from the packaging waste.
Basically, they are sorted into the plastic film (mixed and clear) and solid plastics having a large number of derivatives. However, only a few of them are also marketable. The most important is PET packaging or the popular plastic bottle that is sorted into the clear and coloured plastics, and further on into the green, blue and mixed plastics. The other types are: The HDPE, PE, PP plastic, and the PVC plastic that is the most environmentally unfriendly, and cannot be used for fuel because of its chlorine content.
