Keep Calm, Keep Learning, Keep Recycling
‘Modern’ society is focused on a one-use lifestyle based on ever-changing consumables mostly made of plastic. Plastics can be readily moulded into various useful durable, lightweight and inexpensive products . Every year, more than 420 million tons of plastics are manufactured across the globe while 15% of global waste generation is plastic. There are six common types of plastics: PET, PS, HDPE, PP, PVC and LDPE. Unfortunately, only PET, HDPE, and PVC plastic products are recyclable; the others are not recycled mainly due to inefficiency.
