A Ray of Hope - How Plastic Recycling is Gaining New Ground!

Plastic waste makes up for a huge amount of the environmental footprint that we leave behind and cause unprecedented damage to our blue planet. It has been studied and published that over 70% of the total plastic in the world that has been estimated at 8 + billion, enters our natural environment - and that is definitely not a good thing. 

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 -

1. If possible, use 40 microns or thicker plastic - because it can be recycled easier.
2. 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.  
3. 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.

Follow the Easy Waste Management Tips and Tricks to Save the Ecosystem

Be it in your own household, or locality, generation of truckloads of waste is a common and regular affair.  But the question is whether you are managing it properly or not. There is nothing new with the fact that our ecosystem is dangerously threatened by pollution and ballooning population, degrading slowly every day. We think that dumping the waste into the dustbin is what our work ends with, but is our utmost duty and responsibility to make sure that the waste disposal happened through the right technique, and we are managing the waste properly without threatening the environment. You can follow simple steps and experts advised tips or contact the leading general waste collection companies to do your task smoothly for the locality or society. They are professionally equipped with right tools and manpower to execute the management of waste, and clean your area completely, being environmentally sustainable.

Everyday our household also produces a lot of waste, and often forgets to recycle them and dump them without thinking at all. If you want to contribute to environmental stability and well-being, here are some tips.

Go for the eco-friendly goods

Waste in your household or locality comes from the goods we use every day, and for this you have a solution. Make sure that you only try and use the eco-friendly products everyday which when dumped wont pose any threat to the ecosystem.  They do not harm the environment, and are degradable, apart from being sustainable too.

Switch to paper from plastic

You should switch to the usage of paper made items instead of using the products made directly from plastic. Plastic is toxic to the soil, and plastic waste when burnt down causes the emission of toxic gases like methane that results in dangerous air pollution. Thus, you must make sure that you are using paper products instead of the plastic ones.

Recycle the paper products

The papers which you are dumping in the dust bin can be reused and recycled to make new products for everyday usage, from notebooks to other stuffs. This will save a lot of trees, and also help you contribute to the safety and stability of the environment. Reuse as much as you can and make paper envelops, paper bags and other paper made items from the waste products.

Dispose properly

To help the waste management companies go easy on their regular task, try to put some effort by disposing the waste properly. Segregate the waste products a dry and wet ones, as that helps the garbage collectors a lot in their task while they take them to dump into the landfills. If things get mixed, contact the waste management company to go for mixed waste recycling.

The use of organic waste 

You can either contact the waste management service provider or do it by yourself to turn the waste materials to manure or compost. The organic waste acts as a great way to fertilise your garden.

Donate unused things

You can decrease the production of waste by donating the excess items available in  your home to the NGOs or to the needy people.
