In fact, plastic waste has been one of the main pollutants of ocean life and the ecosystem has been completely contaminated by it. But, that’s what everyone already knows. Is there any way that we could change the situation?
Yes - with mixed plastics recycling.
However, mixed plastics behave in a peculiar way - when they are molten to be fused together and be reproduced as something else, different types of plastic act differently. These separate from other materials like how oil separates from water, and that causes structural loopholes in the construction of some end products.
But, with constant research and development being held by the top scientific organizations of the world to make sure that we can keep the blue planet safe a little longer - they have had somewhat of a breakthrough.
The breakthrough involves Block copolymers - these are going to be used in the mixed plastic recycling process to help with the molecular stitches, so that a lasting bond is formed between two different types of plastics and it becomes easier to recycle the two. This development is definitely one of the most awaited ones and can revolutionize the act of plastic recycling, bringing it away from the waste flow and making it easier to have a better world tomorrow.
But, just because now there is a very reliable answer to plastic waste re-use, it does not mean that you start using plastic without any caution. To help you deal with all your plastic waste issues on a micro level, here are useful tips -
- If possible, use 40 microns or thicker plastic - because it can be recycled easier.
- Use Paper bags. Paper bags are biodegradable and recyclable and cause way less problems when it comes to waste. In fact, recycled paper from document destruction and other paper waste elimination processes is used in our daily lives quite often.
- Contact a plastic waste management specialist - and that way you will know that all your waste plastic is going to properly processed and treated before entering the recycle stream. Waste management will also help you learn what wastes to keep separated from each other to ease the disposal, reuse, and recycle process.
While we all know how harmful plastic waste is, as a planet we are now taking more responsibility with our actions and it is necessary more than ever - because now there is a ray of hope.
