The sharp increase in plastic waste and the social and environmental problems caused by it are placed in front of people and placed in the place where people live and live all over the world.
There are several steps in the identification of waste plastics:1, look at the color;2, look at the brightness (transparent material, this step can be removed);3, feel (weight, sensitivity, smoothness);4, ignition (see whether the flame color smoke, whether or not from fire burning or not burning);5, smell smell (all kinds of plastic taste is not the same, including flame retardants, etc.);6, drawing (CaC03 drawing more certainly not good, and also can not pull out the silk).
