Plastic Junk – Plastic bag today, clothing tomorrow

Plastic  Junk – It comes in form of poly bags, packaging material, containers, electronic items

Shop at any market or retail store and you probably will probably take home product(s) packaged in plastic, often placed in a plastic bag. Plastic junk enters your home from the stores, shipping containers and packing materials, and even products themselves.

Recycling plastic junk actually consumes greater processing energy than is required for recycling glass and metal, and not all plastics can be recycled. The good news is that newer generations of plastics are environmentally safer and can be more readily recycled.

Today’s RPET (a biodegradable plastic) may metamorphose into a new generation of containers, blister packs, packaging materials and collection trays. They also can become fabrics durable for outerwear clothing and footwear. Your jacket, ski gloves, or T-shirt may and jeans be made almost entirely of RPET materials. Reconstituted plastics are also found an increasing number of fashionable accessories like handbags, jewelry, and scarves.
