Question:

Recycling plastic bags processing…?

Okay, I am trying to clean the dam under the falls in our park somewhat. Have found that large masses of plastic bags get caught around the stones occasionally trapping and killing smaller members of our wildlife… most of these bags are just eroded by river mud and bacteria with duckweed and algae clinging stubbornly. Do such impurities get melted out of the bags during the normal recycling process or are they degraded too far to be renewed? Does anyone have a source to use as guide for plastic bag recycling or even know where to find a video showing how plastic bags are recycled by the plants that recycle bags?

Answer:

Plastic recycling is the process of recovering scrap or waste plastic and reprocessing the material into useful products, sometimes completely different in form from their original state. For instance, this could mean melting down soft drink bottles and then casting them as plastic chairs and tables. Plastic 'recycling' is largely a misnomer since plastic beverage bottles soda, juice, milk are never reformed into new beverage bottles; this requires virgin plastic. There simply is no cycle involved with the recycling of plastic beverage containers.
