Why is it printed on plastic bottles that it should be crushed after use? Is it because the plastic bottle turns toxic after 1st use? Are these plastic mineral water bottles re-usable? Please answer me.
Seth and Akib have already answered to your question. I just support their contention.
DON'T forget to crush your empty plastic bottles is the message from Wealden. Officers say about 300 plastic bottles a year on average are produced by each household which means a lot of recycling space taken up. Cllr Sylvia Tidy said: 'After you've washed out the container put it on the floor and jump on it a couple of times. This robust can and plastic bottle crusher is the first step in the recycling process, it's unique design allows you to compact not only aluminium cans and tins but can also easily crush two litre plastic bottles, reducing the volume to one quarter of their original size. The body of the system is made from mild steel with a stainless steel backing plate. The crushing mechanism is also constructed of quality stainless steel with a curved stainless steel handle. The crusher comes in two finishes powder coated in white or green - please select which colour you require. The product is easy to use: just place the item to be recycled into the crusher, then pull down the handle of the mechanism, crushing the can or bottle, saving space and recycling the product into your internal recycle bin. For heavier duty cans, if you 'pinch' crush the side of the can using the special attachment on the handle before placing under the crushing plate, you will find the process takes less effort.
No okorder / because plastics are an oil byproduct so the less we plastic bottle the less Co2 emissions create.
