The effect of plastic packages on the ecology. Recycling of plastic bags - benefits for ecology and economic benefit processing of polyethylene packages

The processing of plastic bags is an upward trend in solving waste disposal problems, but there is still where to develop, according to experts in the field of garbage disposal. More and more grocery stores are included in the processing program for plastic bags, which plays an important role. Here are some important facts about the processing of plastic bags.

The total volume of recycling plastic waste can grow

According to the State Agency for Environmental Protection, about 13 percent of all plastic bags, plastic film and PET bottles are processed in 2014. Polyethylene film is used in a wide variety of products, among which, for example, packaging materials. The recovery rate of plastic bags is much lower than the same indicator for paper and metal or processing plastic bottles. Almost 60 percent of all metals are processed in 2014, according to the agency, while more than 50 percent of the paper is processed in the same year.

Recycling of plastic bags: goals. The Association of Plastic Products, which includes most of the companies manufacturing plastic bags in Russia, have established their goal to recycling plastic bags and films by 40 percent by 2018. Achieving this goal will reduce greenhouse gas emissions, save electricity for heating 200,000 houses every year, along with an annual reduction in waste in the amount of 100 million kilograms.

Danger of plastic bags

One of the greatest dangers of plastic bags becomes accompanying contamination and energy spent on the original production process in which natural gas is mainly involved. Recycling of plastic bags on a waste-sorting station, along with a variety of other goods from recycled plastic, waste disposal company offers much cleaner production. The number of greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere is reduced by 50 percent, and the reduction in energy reaches 70 percent in the process of plastic processing.

Plastic bags are also the causes of hundreds of thousands of animal deaths in the sea and on land. Sea turtles are extremely vulnerable, because floating plastic bags come to jellyfish, the main power supply for turtles. Other marine animals, as well as dogs, goats, cows and other animals on land died after eating plastic bags.

Application of secondary plastic

The process of disposal of plastic bags and other plastics, a secondary plastic is obtained as a result and returns clean plastic granules used to produce a variety of products, starting with carpets and ending with an insulating layer for ski jackets, composite lumber and a decidil.

Plastic bags.

Polyethylene packages are obliged to recycled oil and natural gas. High durability, but also do not bologically decompose. Since the invention and the popularization of the first packages has not passed 60 years, and therefore none of them have not yet been subjected to absolute biological decay in natural conditions. Initious packages that have lost consumer properties and the natural environment, they create sustainable contamination of the entire ecosystem. When they are heated and burning, harmful substances are released, toxic for the entire ecological system. Polyethylene package can be recycled again in industrial conditions, only separating from the content.

Plastic bags.

Cellophane is a transparent grease and waterproof material made of viscose. Cellophane environmental safety is due to the high rate of its biological decomposition and the absence of plasticizers, and containing glycerin harmless to living organisms and in general for environmental environmental. These qualities of cellophane revives interest in this type of packaging, when separating from dyes and impurities is completely recycled by microorganisms and recycled recycling.

Oskey-biodegradable packages.

In their production, the same polymeric raw material is used (crushed plastic PET plastic bottles), as in the manufacture of polyethylene packets, but with the addition of degdants. Supplements artificially accelerate the biodegradation process in the environment on carbon, water, trace elements and biomass under the influence of temperature, ultraviolet and oxygen. The decomposition date of the oxo-biodegradable packaging is 1-3 years. Prints that reduce mechanical strength and contributing to the speedy decay of plastic make it impossible to be recycled in its pure form.

Hydro-biodegradable packages.

The basis for their manufacture is food cultures - vegetable polymers derived from food high starchy crops, such as coarse, corn, wheat. Different with high ecology at all stages of operation, but low strength indicators and high resource costs in production. Processing of complete biological decay on carbon and water for 30-70 days, as a result of decomposition, biomass (compost) is formed. The natural material is made of the Mike type package; Rebuilding bags and packing bags.

Paper bags. Packages from craft paper.

Raw material for their production - wood or waste paper. They have a short service life, thereby increasing their quantitative consumption and production costs of electricity and water. The ideal scheme for optimizing production and natural costs includes the comprehensive responsibility of the manufacturer and the buyer. Perhaps several recycling of one paper package - made of wood packaging material, which after the term of use is processed again into the packaging. In this case, the waste paper is recycled with lower electricity costs, and paper, completing its consumer cycle, decomposes in the soil by microorganisms.

Reusable polyester bags.

They are sewed from a synthetic artificial material obtained from polymer recycled waste (secondary plastic). Completely exclude the need to buy plastic bags. With daily use, one such bag will serve from three to five years and will replace several thousand packages. The planting from the polyester is included in the list of materials allowed by the Gossennadzor authorities of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation for contact with food products, non-toxic when burning and decomposition. Polyester systems are recommended for secondary Recycling.

Textile bags.

They are made of fibers of plant origin - jute, cotton, flax, bamboo or secondary raw materials. Exhaust steel has no longer just an impersonal package for shopping, but an independent part of the wardrobe. I have a cycle of consumption, bags decompose on non-toxic substances.

Each of us is able to improve the situation with the environment, it is necessary only to carefully treat your own Musor and throw it into separate containers of MSW.

Plastic bags and films | Separate Collection Ecological Movement

All you wanted to know about packages and were not shy to ask.

Companies that process soft polymers are quite a lot, but most of them prefer to work with the production of large enterprises and on the "household" plastic looks with distrust. There are good reasons for that: household plastic is often contaminated with substances unpredictably affecting the processing process, and with a soft packaging, laundering these substances, it turns out more difficult than with solid. Companies do not quite naturally want to risk the costly equipment and quality of entire batches of finished products because of impurities in the raw materials and they go along the path of least resistance. Unfortunately, those who want to invest in new pre-processing technologies that reduce the above-mentioned risks are still a bit.

Companies that do not impose strict requirements for the initial raw materials also exist, for example, manufacturers of polymer-sand tiles and other building materials are ready to take even a mixture of different types of soft plastic.

Types of plastic bags and films.

polyethylene (marking 02, HDPE, HDPE and 04, PVD, LDPE): Polyethylene is high and low density (low and high pressure, respectively), if there is no marking, then you can distinguish one material from the other as follows: Thin rustling packing bags and large Part of the packages - "MAKEK" is 02; And soft, like oily sachets, greenhouse, stretch and air-bubble film - 04.
polypropylene (marking 05, PP, PP): Most often such packaging is a brilliant and "crispy", it is easy to rush, does not stretch. Polypropylene facing cereals, pasta, bread, cookies, etc. The opaque wrapper from chocolate bars is also pp with the additive of the dye, such packaging is more difficult to process therefore take it not everywhere.
combined plastic (labeling of the type C / XX or 07 / OTHER)
biodegradable and pseudoboradable (be sure to read about the difference in a separate material!)

Do not confuse plastic bags with "cellophan"!

A huge number of people in habit calls this word any rustling waterproof packages. In fact, today, 99.9% of packages and films are made of plastic - polyethylene (HDPE, LDPE) or polypropylene (PP). Celloflan, which is reflected in its name, is a chemically treated cellulose - that is, it is the closest relative of the paper and labeled PAP (that is, paper, paper).

The cellophane "boom" fell on the 70s - 80s. Since the beginning of the 90s, it began to push out cheaper and simple in the production of polyethylene. However, if the cellophane package is quickly decomposed on the organic components, the polyethylene will decompose about 150 years.

The question of how celofan is eco-friendly polyethylene, is ambiguous - because for the production of the cellophane package, it is necessary not to simply connect a couple of molecules, but cutting a living tree and thoroughly process it. However, thanks to its advantages in terms of reduction of the global landfill, this material again slowly appears on the market. To mix the same cellophane with plastic bags and a film that are recycling, dangerous - cellulose can flash in such conditions in which the plastic cannot catch fire in principle. In addition, hitting the tile, which is made from crushed packages, Cellofan will start rotting, because of which it will be in disrepair ahead of time. Therefore, a big request: if a transparent crusting film with a pap marking is falling, send it into the overall garbage.

Package and film processing

The problem of plastic bags and examples of solutions in the world.

Key components in PE-packages - oil and natural gas. About 4% of global oil production is spent on their production. At the same time, the average lifespan of the package is 20 minutes, and the decomposition is from 100 years.

Few people think that this is a convenient invention creates a huge amount of problems, millions of birds and animals kills annually, and sometimes even leads to floods.

Now more than 150 million tons of plastic pollutes the world ocean, the British ecological NPO has the ELLEN MacArthur Foundation.

The problem of used packages in the world is already so acute that various measures are used to combat environmental pollution with polyethylene, and about 40 countries have been banned or restricted for the sale and production of plastic bags:

In the European Union on April 16, 2014, a directive was adopted to reduce the number of plastic bags by 50% by 2017 and 80% by 2019.

Denmark. In 1994, introduced a tax on the free distribution of polyethylene packages. After that, the demand for it fell by 90%.

Germany. Package utilization is paid by consumers, and sellers and distributors are responsible for the collection and secondary processing.

Ireland. Entered "Ecological" tax. As a result, the package consumption decreased by 90%.

Singapore, Bangladesh, Taiwan. Entered a full ban on the use of polyethylene packages. The reason for this was the facts of blockage of sewage and overlapping River River Plastic. Recall that Bangladesh plastic packets were the main cause of flooding in 1988 and 1998, which were flooded 2/3 countries.

Tanzania. Here for the production, import or sale of plastic bags is fined for $ 2,000, or put in prison for a year.

Zanzibar. The import of plastic packages is prohibited.

Australia. From January 2004, a ban on plastic bags was introduced on the island of Kangaroo the authorities. By the end of 2008, a direct ban on the use of plastic bags in supermarkets throughout the country was introduced.

England. Here the population enjoys biodegradable packages since 2004.

Latvia. A tax on disposable packages is used to reduce their use.

Finland. In this advanced country in stores cost automata for the processing and production of new plastic.

China. From June 1, 2008 it is forbidden to produce, sell and use polyethylene packs with a film thickness less than 0.025 mm, and in stores and supermarkets will be prohibited by free distribution.

Italy. From January 1, 2011, the use of polyethylene packages is prohibited in the country. Instead, they use reusable bags or bio-packages.

Rwanda. In the country stores, they were forbidden to produce plastic bags to buyers. The local police on the street stops those who dare walk with the package in their hands. According to the Minister of Environmental Protection Themes of the Museum of Museum, some supermarkets that have not fulfilled the law have been revoked by a trade license.

India. According to a new law, any citizen using polyethylene packages may be imprisoned for a period of up to 7 years or a fine, the amount of which can be up to 100,000 rupees, which is equivalent to 2 thousand US dollars. This ban was introduced by the example of South Africa.

Egypt. The ban on the use of plastic bags was introduced in 2008. The authorities decided to go to these measures to preserve the unique ecosystem of the Red Sea, where coral reefs suffer primarily to the sea of \u200b\u200bpolyethylene packages.

France. In 2017, in France, a ban on disposable polyethylene packages (a capacity of less than 10 liters and a thickness of less than 50 microns is a million part of the meter), which are distributed in large supermarkets around the world. It is only part of a large program of the European Union against the use of plastic, where it is already understood that it is he who has a significant impact on the state of the environment.

Russia. There are no official restrictions on the use of plastic bags in our country. However, in Russia recently banned name "biodegradable" plastic bags. Unfortunately, we have before the ban of plastic bags is still very far. Meanwhile, only in the capital each year is used about one hundred thousand tons of plastic bags, and is utilized (most often, by ordinary burial) is hardly a third of this quantity.

Where to children plastic bags. Options for solving the issue

Polyethylene packages in the kitchen - the usual thing. They appear in a house with products from shops and supermarkets and just in the form of packaging. Each of us would like to reduce the negative impact of polyethylene on the environment, and for this uses cellophane ultrasounds on the second, and even by the third time. So you have to hide them across the kitchen, in order to use again through time. But the number of cellophane crops waiting for the second use, grows in geometric progression, and begins to cause irritation. Entrances are not withstanding polyethylene attacks and discard all the scope. But only in order to make a place under new cellophane bags. To bring your nervous system in order, read our advice on where to give plastic bags and how to store polyethylene packages.

Environmental option.

Almost in every city there is a point of reception of secondary raw materials. At such points take used batteries, plastic, polyethylene, rubber tires used by batteries. To find where to hand over polyethylene packages in your city, it is enough to google polyethylene reception points on the Internet. Collect all bags in a large package (sorry for the tautology) and go to pass. In addition to the feeling of satisfaction received from the contribution to the ecological state of your city, you will receive money from the receivers. Let small, but still.

Read about the creation, application and disposal of polyethylene packages on the Wikipedia website.

Economical option.

No economic store will offer you an option how to store polyethylene packages at home. If you visit the online stores, you can choose the appropriate option to store polyethylene packages - a kind orbizer, to which the laying of cellophane bags is made from above, and get through a special hole. Such containers from the Internet can be put on the table, you can hang on the hook on the work wall, on the door handle, and you can be suspended in a niche under the sink. They are made of plastic or metal, have all sorts of shapes and colors. But each of us knows how to count money. And additional costs in the form of a container purchase for cellophane are not needed. Therefore, we suggest choose for yourself not only where to store polyethylene packages, but as. It is convenient to store polyethylene packages in:

packing from under paper napkins. Those who do not use such napkins can successfully use a box of tea. In general, any cardboard, metal, plastic box suitable. Size compactness allows you to keep such a container in any kitchen box. To ensure a maximum amenities, you can cut the hole at the top of the box.
plastic bottle. Cut the bottom and neck in the bottle (the required volume is determined by yourself). Then fold in her ulles and use with pleasure. Needlewomen and creative personalities can decorate a bottle with decor. This design is also convenient because it can be attached from the inside of any kitchen door.
in continuing the topic of a plastic bottle, a container is suitable for the role of a package from under a liquid detergent or washing powder.
knitted bag. Needlewomen should not be knitting anything with crocheted or spokes from the remains of the yarn bag for the storage of cellophane. If your house has an old knitted thing, wearing no one is going to carry, then you can make a repository of cellophane bags from the sleeve of the product. From two sides of the cut sleeves, stretch the lace or braid and tighten. It turns out something like candy or sausages (somehow).
schata doll-paucket. For the manufacture of such a doll, we include fantasy and creatively approach the execution of the storage for cellophane. In the finished doll, the scheme of the sewing of which is on the Internet, we put a spacious bag under the skirt. In this bag and we will store packages. So that they do not fall out, the bottom of the bag is tightened with a rubber band.
knitted bag from polyethylene packages. If you know how to knit, instead of yarn to create a package, use the cellophane. This, by the way, to the question of where polyethylene packages can be used.
sleeve from paper towels or foil. If the ulles are not too much, then you can hide them in a cardboard sleeve remaining after using paper towels or foil. Such sticks with cellophane bags inside can be kept anywhere.
basket for spices in packaging. In such a container, which is a colorful basket, conveniently stored in a vertical position folded large ulles, tapping them with a stationery elastic band.

How to compactly fold polyethylene packages.

With the type of cellophassorals, we decided. However, we all understand that if you try to stuff all the bags, it suffers capacity. But, if you add kulets compactly, much more ulles will fit into the organizer or bag for storage for storage. It will not only make it possible to increase the number of curses in the "Packup", and align them.

folding triangle. Running the cun on a flat surface. We fold in half in half, and then a couple more times. Having been following the lower from the bend the edge of the Kulka, bend the triangle. Next, we continue bending the triangle to the very top. Such a tiny triangle takes up little space.

if you fold a triangle a large cellophane bag with handles, then fuel the handles of the root into the triangle. Then they will not hang out.

folding into the tube. Roll into the docks on the table, and then fold several times to get a strip. Stripes are wrapped around two fingers, and not clutched bags of the package. For this handle, wind around the rings from the Kulka.

Tight large packages just fold twice or three. This will be a solution to the task, how to fold the polyethylene packages in the box. Love from these methods of folding cellophane allows you to reveal torn, dirty or old trees during the folding process and dispose of them.

How can I use polyethylene packages.

It is not only possible to give the second life with cellophane ulons, but you need (we are not in vain they store them?). Polyethylene packages can be used for:

pet cleaning while walking on the street. Going for a walk with his four-legged pets, put several polyethylene bags in your pocket to use as gloves, removing animals.
works on the gardening area. Owing such a cellophane bag on the palm can be safely pissed in the ground, not afraid of blurred hands.
garbage. Do not buy special garbage bags, and use used in your home of the cloth.
protection of brushes from drying out. After working with paintings, brushes wrap with a cloth so as not to dry.
sending parcel by mail. Wrap the parcel or parcel with the faces, then the recipient will receive the subject you sent you or the thing in integrity and safety.
warming of plants in the offseason. Many know what the spring frosts are dangerous. Therefore, you can cover the seedlings for the night. A peculiar mini-greenhouse will protect young sensitive plants.
knitting bags and rugs. Colored polyethylene mats will be appropriate in the hallway. And in a plastic bag, you can not only keep old ulles, but also goes to the store for products.
repeated shopping. Everything is clear here.
visits to medical institutions. Polyethylene packages can be used instead of bohot. Nading bags for shoes, save on the boots. Throw away anyway and then, then.

What can replace polyethylene packages.

Reduce the amount of cellophane in the kitchen and in the house can be through the use instead of the Klok:

paper bags.
cross-shched from tulle translucent bags.
big household bags from environmentally friendly materials. Such bags are sold in stores and supermarkets near the cashier.
foil. Watch sandwiches and other products in foil is much more convenient.
food film. Similar to the previous item.

As practice shows, no polyethylene packages will not cost, but reduce the amount of polyethylene use and put in order its kitchen, possibly.

Video about how it is convenient to store packages

Plastic bags are made of the same substance as all plastic: oil.

Oil materials and products have two main disadvantages: In the production of significant pollution volumes, and the product is not subjected to biological decomposition.

In other words, it is difficult to produce and almost impossible to get rid of the ever produced.

According to the Natural Environment website, from 60 to 100 million barrels of oil is required to produce plastic packages for the year in the world, and for their full decomposition it will take about 400 years.

Therefore, plastic packages are better recycling.

The processing symbol (three closed arrows) is located on most plastic products, but often this is a marketing trick.

Many packages collected by factories cannot be recycled. Most of them get on landfillsTo fly there the coming hundreds of years.

There are, however, biodegradable Packages, but in this topic, too, not everything is definitely. Do they really decompose in nature, or this is another trick to increase sales, we understood.

Plastic - durable, lightweight and cheap material. It is easy to mold in various products of widespread.

Production and use of plastic bags increased over the past 10 years.

Consequently, re-applying, recovery and recycling are extremely important.

Recycling can be subject to packages made from:

polyethylene;
cellophane;
other polymers.

Polyethylene

Polyethylene recycling is important because in most cases it is not subjected to biological decomposition and can accumulate in landfills For decades. In this case, the processing of polyethylene is fairly easy to implement.

Due to the composition, the spent plastic can be melted to a liquid state.

Since it solidifies, it is reconstructed or extruded, which makes the material reusable.

Therefore, processing of polyethylene packages can lead to the creation of new, durable products, which are also are cost-effective and environmentally friendly.

To polyethylene, recyclable processing include packages:

for shopping;
from under milk, kefir, etc.;
for garbage;
any types of thin and very soft bags are made of low-density polyethylene.

Cellophane

As a rule, cellophane is not processed, although it can be considered the processed material from a scientific point of view.

The cellophane package naturally decomposes (since it is not plastic). Therefore, to dispose it is better to put it in compost.

In the production of cellophane use carbon disulfide and sulfuric acidwhich can cause contamination.

Therefore, it is necessary to limit the emission of packets and use each as possible.

Products from other polymers

From films used for the manufacture of plastic bags, the most common four polymers:

High density polyethylene (PEVP).
Middle density polyethylene (Pescript).
Low density polyethylene (PENP).
Linear low density polyethylene (LDDP).

The overwhelming majority of packages for grocery stores are made of PEVP.

Characteristics of PEVP:

moderate opacity;
tendency to crumbos;
high strength;
no ability to stretch.

Packages made of high density polyethylene are easily broken, but because of their strength, they are well suited for use as product packages, for clothing, packaging.

PESP resins are less opaque than PEVP, but not so transparent as low density polyethylene.

Packages made from Pesp, do not stretch and do not have high strength.

Pesp is used in consumer packaging for paper products, such as paper towels and toilet paper, etc.

PENP is used to make packets with moderate tensile and strength properties, high degree of transparency.

LPEV is a bit thinner than PENP, characterized by an elastic consistency.

This material usually seems sticky, used as a tensile film.

All this raw materials are processed at waste disposal factories. More durable plastic is not recycling because the material scores sorting equipment On processing facilities, which leads to its breakdown or stop.

Processing and equipment technology

The simplest of the processing processes of plastic bags includes processes:

collection;
sorting;
grinding;
washing;
melting;
granulation.

Production processes vary depending on the composition or type plastic.

Most processing enterprises operate in two stages:

Automatic plastic sorting or manual to eliminate all pollutants from plastic waste flow.
Plastic melting directly into a new shape or grinding into flakes, then melting before final processing into granules.

For plastic bag recycling the following equipment is involved:

sorting installation;
machines for casting plastics under pressure;
extrusion machines
installations for blowing and vacuum molding;
forming and thermoforming equipment;
other equipment depending on the level of production.

Recycling packages at home

In addition to plastic bags can be reused and apply In the kitchen, in everyday life and in the garden, they can also be processed at home. The result is the desired durable sheets of plastic for crafts and further use.

This requires accumulated polyethylene packages (at least 100 pieces), ordinary baking parchment, iron and scissors, oven.

Packages must be pre-washed and dried. It is better to use PEVP packages, and color and drawings do not matter.

Cutting off the handle, bottom and cutting the side, fold the obtained rectangles by layers. The layer should be no more than 5 packages.

We put a large sheet of parchment on the heat-resistant surface (plywood, OSB), we add the first 5 packages on top and stance another piece of parchment.

Iron with mean temperatures I stitch sheetsstarting from the middle to the edges. If the sheets fused poorly, then we increase the temperature if holes appeared - we decrease.

By choosing the desired temperature, stacking the remaining stacks of sheets.

Next is the spike of five-layer sheets among themselves. Also stroke the first two five-layer sheets, but at higher temperatures. On the received overlapping the next five-layer spike and stroke again.

Sheets need to be added to the thickness you need, applying to different sides of the paved stack (i.e. it is better to turn over).

Sheets are obtained sufficiently dense, so there is already a five-layer spike can be used where you please.

But for better sheets they need bake in the oven:

On the baking sheet put parchment.
On the parchment lay out a multilayer briquette.
Cover the parchment sheet.
Top also put a baking sheet.
Put on the top bastard a pair of bricks for weighting.
Put it in the oven for 30 minutes at temperatures 200 ° C..
We get out and wait until you cool, without removing the bricks.
When you cool the edges of polyethylene. They must be homogeneous. If not, we put in the oven at a higher temperature to 230 ° C.
At the resulting briquettes cut the edge.
We use recycled polyethylene.

Video on the topic

We offer to watch a video about disposal of polyethylene packages:

Output

The purpose of processing plastic bags is to reduce the indicators of plastic pollution, while reducing the cost of purchasing starting materials For the manufacture of new plastic products.

This approach helps to save energy and frees the nature of pollution by plastic packages, and the re-use of polyethylene at home will save the cost of buying some of the things and materials.

In contact with

It is already impossible to present the modern world without plastic products. About third of all plastic products today is made from polyethylene. Together with the obvious benefits of its use, the relevant problem remains the search for effective methods of processing and disposing of this polymer.

Polyethylene (adopted cuts - PET, PE) - Thermoplastic polymer, widely used to create a huge amount of goods. Its use began in the 20th century: since the 30s, it began to be used in the production of the telephone cable, starting from the 50s - as packaging in the food industry.

Today, PET products are huge:

packaging film, bags, garbage bags;
scotch;
all sorts of packaging: bottles, banks, drawers, cans, containers, flower pots, etc.;
pipes for sewage and gas supply;
electrical insulation, thermal insulation;
drives, containers for liquid and solid chemicals;
various types of fence, etc.

Depending on the technologies, polyethylene of different types and operational properties are obtained in the modern industry, for example:

high pressure or low density (POP. -, PEWD, LDPE - more plastic type of polyethylene, used for film production, cable);
low pressure or high density (sopra. -, HDPE -, HDPE - has a tougher and durable structure);
polyethylene terephthalate (PET - PET, PET, PETE - is used only for the production of disposable products), etc.

What is polyethylene of different density, and what types of packaging makes it made

The process of manufacturing polyethylene packages

The main types of polyethylene waste and where they come from

PO Popularity and mass consumption of PE lead to the fact that a daily huge amount of items used from it falls into the spent category:

Polyethylene domestic products. This include packaging film, packages, bottles, bottles and canisters from under household chemicals, waste blister waste from under medicines and other items used by man in everyday life. All this every day is thrown into conventional garbage containers for TWW (solid household waste). According to different estimates, the proportion of polyethylene in MSW is about ten percent of the total volume.
PE waste industrial consumption. This, again, the packaging film, all sorts of packages, waste of polyethylene packaging from stores (for example, drawers for products), pipes, worn braids from cable, etc.
Technological marriage in enterprises manufacturing enterprises. Its volume can reach up to ten percent of the entire raw material produced.

Polyethylene products Cheap and convenient. The most significant "disadvantage" of any kinds of plastic is a long period of natural waste decomposition.

According to the preliminary estimates of the environmentalists, the decay period in the wildlife of the polyethylene film or the bottle is from one hundred to two hundred years. This makes a very real threat to the death of all living under tons of plastic garbage already in the near future.

Where to pass PET waste?

The bulk of the household waste of polyethylene falls into the usual garbage - containers for TBW, located in the courtyards of residential buildings. A significant disadvantage of this method of recycling is the strong pollution of PET residues, chemicals, mud, liquids, etc. In the future, the overall mass of the garbage will be sorted, and the plastic itself will require additional cleaning.

Important! An excellent solution today is the sorting of household garbage already at the time of its throwing, when the plastic objects are addressed in specially designated drives.

Unfortunately, while this method is very popular in European countries, in Russia, it is worried about:

such containers still have far from every yard and not even in each settlement;
there is no working penalty system for violating the rules of sorting, and in the end, even with such "distributors", other types of garbage are often found in the plastic tank.

Pass PET Waste You can:

On enterprises engaged directly by the processing of PET waste, if they take them on their own.
In the reservation points that operate in each city - they carry out waste paper, scrap metal, plastic, etc. Payment for the transfer of plastic will be kopeck, but in this way you make your own contribution to the conservation of the environment.

What kind of products are made from secondary polyethylene?

Raw materials obtained as a result of plastics - cheap and high-quality material for the manufacture of a huge number of new useful products:

waste with a little use - bottle, disposable container and packaging - successfully processed into similar products;
the granules of secondary raw materials serve as an additive to primary polyethylene, for example, in the production of pressure pipes or large capacity capacities;
blowing bottles, canisters from food and household chemicals are used for the subsequent production of drainage pipes, wood-polymer composites (they make a stake, a terraced board, garden parquet, etc.);
waste of a film from domestic garbage, as well as a waste film of agricultural purposes, usually recycled into granules for future injection molding products;
multilayer films, as well as cable waste can only be recycled as additives for other granules, etc.

Depending on the type of PE products, as well as the spheres where it was used, methods and equipment used for its recycling will differ significantly.

Processing PET products

What makes the production of processing plastic waste? The full cycle will include several main steps:

Polyethylene recycling at home

Today, the possibility of recycling polyethylene at home is occupied by many inquisitive minds. For example, there are already developed methods of independent safe incineration of PET Tara offered by researchers working in the field of ecology.

But there is an alternative look: when burning or even melting plastic, it will be released into the atmosphere of substances harmful to humans and nature. Therefore, independent combustion or recycling of polyethylene waste is prohibited, only special enterprises with a relevant license can carry out similar works.

PET utilization

Speaking of disposal, today often implies plastic processing processes, when the redeference receives a "new life" and is used to re-manufacture products.

Sometimes under recycling, they mean an alternative to recycling - the physical destruction of plastic waste or their storage in landfills and polygons. Since the burning of plastic is prohibited, other, more eco-friendly, methods are used to destroy it.

From the point of view of environmental conservation, it is highly effective, for example, a thermal decomposition of plastics at high temperatures in an oxygen-free medium.

However, a huge amount of plastic garbage is still simply at urban dumps.

Processing PET wastes - promising direction in the economy, which is supported by environmentalists. With the development of technologies, the secondary garbage is becoming cheaper for the manufacturer, allowing at the same time to get rid of the planet from the plastic surplus, which is difficult to decompose in vivo. Environmental risks arising in the process of processing do not go to any comparison with those problems that will arise in humanity in the near future, since the garbage dumps every year becomes more and more.

In certain sectors of production, a huge amount of consumed polyethylene packages are accumulated, which should not be thrown into garbage. RUSMAK company takes the reception of polyethylene packages for processing in any volume. Thanks to our company, the received polyethylene package acquires a second life in the form of various products, such as:

dense packets or film;
waters, flower pots or plastic dishes;
plastic parts for various accessories.

Favorable conditions for reception

A huge number of polyethylene packages accumulates not only at us at home, but also in large shopping centers, small stores and various departments related to the polyethylene packaging of goods. Packages thrown into garbage pollute the environment with very harmful substances, so each wishing can take part in the rescue of the soil from toxins. Our company is ready to buy polyethylene on favorable conditions for you. At the same time, the reception price depends on the following factors:

weight of polyethylene packages;
degree of purity;
sorting waste according to certain types.

Rusmak is ready to offer its own transport for independent export of polyethylene waste and packages.
