What is the best re-cycling method for plastic bottles & tubes?
Hi The best way is not to buy products that come in plastic bottles, tubes or plastic packaging. Other than that call your local re-cycling center ask them.
I would not re-cycling them. Re-cycling is labor intensive and the supply of this plastic is far greater than the demand. I think it is better to burn them in power plants. Why waste peoples time sorting plastic bottles.
There are many good reasons for recycling bottles, which saves energy, water and resources. Often the material can be recovered and refashioned into new bottles. But whole or partial containers can also be used in engaging, creative ways by individuals. See some of these innovative green designs here. I've been seeing flattened wine bottle serving trays for years at funky eco-boutiques and in catalogs, and I've always thought they were pretty cool. They come in many different colors and labels, and can be used as paddles if someone forgot to bring the brie. I hope people would try to recycle these bottles. :) Miana
Connect the plastic bottles end to end and pour water and algae in it. You now have an algae farm on your terrace or backyard to produce a decent quantity of oil everyday.
there is an industry located in Sumter, SC named Clor-Fi that recycles plastic bottles, etc by melting them down and extruding the material into carpet yarn. The company has been here doing this for 20+ years.
