The ubiquity of plastic

Plastic is an essential material in modern life, found in everything from packaging to electronics.

Its versatility, durability, and low cost make it a staple in numerous industries.

Benefits of plastic

Durability: Plastics are highly durable and resistant to wear and tear, making them suitable for long-lasting products.
Lightweight: Their low weight reduces transportation costs and energy consumption.
Versatility: Plastics can be engineered to exhibit a wide range of properties, such as flexibility, rigidity, and resistance to heat or chemicals.
Cost-effective: Mass production of plastic items is generally cheaper compared to alternative materials.
Insulation: Plastics are excellent insulators, both thermally and electrically, making them valuable in the electronics and construction industries.

Challenges of plastic

Non-biodegradability: Most plastics do not decompose naturally, leading to persistent environmental pollution.
Toxicity: Some plastics release harmful chemicals, particularly when burned or degraded.
Microplastics: Tiny plastic particles have become pervasive in ecosystems, posing risks to wildlife and human health.

What kind of plastics can I recycle?

Plastic typically comes in two forms: soft plastic (LDPE) like that in plastic film or plastic packaging and hard plastic (PET), like in everyday bottles.

Both forms of plastic can be sold to a recycler if they are compacted.
