The energy that is required to make one plastic bottle could recycle 10 plastic bottles.
Recycling minimises the need to use our natural resources. Using recycled materials significantly reduces the energy and carbon emissions used during the manufacturing process.
It can take up to 1,000 years for a single plastic bottle to decompose in a landfill site. Because of the long lifespan of plastic recycling, the material can optimize the use of plastic and eliminate the need to create new plastic.
How do we recycle plastic?
Once the waste is collected by our Solowaste team it is then transported to a facility where the waste is then sorted into different categories. The plastic is then thoroughly washed and melted into small pallets.
The pallets can then be re-melted and used to create products such as reusable crates and pallets, wheelie bins or food bins and can even be used in some forms of construction work.
The possibility of what plastic can do and be used for is endless but the overuse of single-use plastics can be harmful to the environment.
Realise the potential of your plastic bottle and let Solowaste help you dispose of your plastic in an environmentally friendly way.
