Recycled plastic is a familiar concept to many as it provides numerous benefits for the environment and communities. The following article will provide more information about recycled plastic, its characteristics, and its applications in everyday life.
Recycled plastic is the product of the process of producing plastic from collected plastic waste. After collection, plastic waste undergoes sorting, washing, melting, and molding to create new plastic products. This process helps reduce the large amount of non-biodegradable waste created by humans, protecting the environment from plastic pollution. However, not all types of plastic can be recycled; some require complex recycling processes and incur high costs.
Each type of recycled plastic has different characteristics and applications. The commonly produced and safe recycled plastics today are PET, HDPE, and PP. PVC, LDPE, PS, and PC are types of plastic that pose a high risk of chemical leaching, which can be harmful to human health when used, so they are rarely recycled and, if so, are mostly used in industrial applications rather than household products. It is particularly important to be cautious with products that frequently come into direct contact with users, such as packaging and containers, prioritizing those made from recycled PP and HDPE. Products made from recycled PET are considered the safest for single-use. Additionally, limiting the exposure of recycled plastic products to heat will ensure higher safety in use.
Recycled plastic is widely used in the production of everyday items. Depending on the characteristics of different types of plastic, manufacturers select materials to create suitable products. Notably, recycled plastic is frequently used in the production of outdoor items, such as plastic decking for patios and balconies, fences for gardens, flower boxes, and plant pots.
One prominent application of recycled plastic in outdoor products is outdoor partition panels. What sets this product apart is that it is made from recycled plastic sourced from the manufacturer’s own plastic waste. The manufacturer collects and processes their plastic waste to create recycled plastic pellets, ensuring that no waste is discharged into the environment during the production process.
