Understand the critical role of plastic recycling in reducing environmental pollution and creating a sustainable future.
Reducing pollution
Plastic waste clogs waterways and landfills. Recycling reduces pollution and lowers greenhouse gas emissions from producing virgin plastics.
Types of plastics
PET bottles, HDPE containers, and LDPE films are commonly recycled. Proper sorting improves recovery rates and final product quality.
Community role
Households and businesses can separate plastics at the source. Partnering with collectors ensures material reaches processing facilities instead of landfills.
