PET bottles recycling
PET bottles recycling
This is what everybody is after these days.
And, because of this let’s see what it exactly means; lots of people out there have only a rough idea of what this means so let me try to explain what’s good, and what’s not.
The good part, it is always better to start from the good part, is the fact raw material is “a bottle” and even a kid can recognize it.
Second good part, and it depends by the first one, is the fact collection becomes “easy” and the right translation for this means “low cost”.
End of the good part of it, not much folks.
Because transport of empty, loose, bottles is practically impossible, PET bottles need baling to increase the bulk density and to be handled more easily.
In some location, pre-sorting is done right after the baling process not because the people doing it like it but because sorting means to sell PET bottles at a higher price and to bale some HDPE bottles scrap as well and make some more money out of them.
This, unfortunately, doesn’t apply to PVC bottles but this something we’ll be talking about later on.
So, a certain day you see a lot of these bales piled up and together with the fact you are environmental conscious, and have some money, you start thinking about recycling PET bottles.
Well, this is a day you’re going to remember.
Here’s why:
PET is an engineering material and the final product needs precise characteristics to be used and, always remember, you’re starting from a bunch of bottles collected on the street from somebody that doesn’t know what PET is, and never will, plus the fact that many of them carry a label where’s written “water” but has been used to store “ ????? “ you name it, and think to the worse.
