Recycling Plastics Presents Challenges
In the spirit of being environmentally responsible, we want to recycle our plastic waste. But there are some challenges that we can face.
Recycling
- for many products has a limited lifetime until the quality of the recycled material has fallen below acceptable levels.;
- can take more energy and water than using virgin materials; and
- lastly, facilities may be located far away resulting in huge transportation impacts even to get the products to the recycling facility.
