Plastic recycle story you should know

Hello friends, today we are going to read about the story of plastic recycling. In other words how plastic is recycled. The above statement can surprise you because lots of people think that recycling plastic is not possible. But today tonnes of plastic is recycled and reach you again.

Recycling of plastic can be done in a short period but not decomposing them. Do you know? A single thin plastic glass needs approx 50 years to decompose in the soil. Then think how much time we need to decompose tonnes of waste plastic. This is the reason to reduce the use of plastic. Also making new plastic is dangerous because if more and more plastic is added then we will not have enough place to store lots of plastic and we will not have any their choice except decomposing them. Then decomposing plastic will take lots of time to empty the plastic waste storage.

Plastic recycling is possible due to modern techniques and tricks of making plastic items. You may have heard the name of 3D printers. If not, don’t worry here you will know about it. 3D printers are a very good source for making complex designs faster from virtual to real. You just have to make a 3D model on the computer and connect this 3D printer just like a normal 2D printer. And you will get that model after finishing the printing process.

But for this, you need to learn certain things. Like 3D modeling, settings with 3D modeling for proper printing, etc. also you need to have a good capacity computer for good 3D virtual modeling.

But what is the need of 3D printers for plastic recycling?

Plastic recycling is possible by these types of machines because these printers need a plastic roll. This means that these types of printers use plastic to make 3D models. And this plastic is recycled and takes a very short period in the plastic recycling process.

Plastic recycle story

Collecting waste plastic

You may have seen poor people collecting waste plastic from the garbage area. Because the recycling company offers them money for collecting the waste plastic for them.

Plastic recycling process

First, all the plastic is washed properly for removing dust and other garbage which came with plastic. And all the plastic is passed through a water line to take out small wrappers. So that only plastic can go ahead, not unwanted other garbage.

After that plastic recycling is started, with a big blending machine that crushes the plastic into very small pieces. So that these pieces can be melted easily.

Then these pieces are passed through an electric metallic tube that provides required heat to the plastic pieces. The heat provided to the plastic pieces is limited,i.e, this much heat is provided just to melt and merge all the plastic pieces with each other. And when this merged plastic comes out of the pipe they automatically form a plastic wire. This wire is directly packed in a role and when the role is filled the other role is placed.

These merged plastic come out with a nozzle which decides the diameter of the plastic wire.

Now these rolls are used in 3D printers to make 3D models. About which we talked above. And then when those 3D models are broken or useless they can be recycled by the same process of plastic recycling. But there is a problem that by using this process recycling plastic bags is difficult because in the crushing process of plastic recycling these types of bags can get stuck to the blending machine and can stop.

Here we ended with the plastic recycle story. But remember that these recycling processes cannot reduce the amount of plastic. If we keep going to make new plastic then surely we need to face many difficulties in the future.

Let us talk about the effect of plastic in today’s life

No doubt plastic is lightweight, cheap, and strong enough. Also making plastic is too easy. Plastic is not only in toys, board games, or anything other. Plastic has removed many things from our daily life. Plastic has replaced a wooden pencil to the lead pencils, plastic cups, plates, spoons, plastic buckets, mugs, taps, pipes, chairs, tables, electronic appliances, and many more. There is a count. Today the condition is that in every room of every home, hotel or department somewhere you can find plastic.

Impact of plastic

In this plastic recycling story, we have read about the plastic recycling process now we should talk about the impact of plastic on the world’s environment. 

Plastic affected land, water, and even air. Plastic also affected our food quality. Plastic garbage on our land increases land pollution, plastic garbage is thrown into oceans which increases water pollution and when lots of garbage pickers and sweepers burn the plastic garbage it increases air pollution.

If we talk about it’s all impact, this page will be too long like an Ebook. Experts always recommend that in today’s situation everyone should use the plastic product again and again as much as possible so they need of making new plastic can be minimized. Also, use the purchase which is biodegradable products.

This Plastic recycle story is to inform you how plastic products are made without making new plastic. And this story also tells you why the garbage pickers mostly search for plastic. The plastic recycling process is too easy even you can make your plastic recycling machine just you need some engineering knowledge.
