Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) plastics are thin and flexible, commonly used for shopping bags, squeezable bottles, frozen food containers, clothing, and furniture. Although rarely recycled, some facilities are increasingly accepting LDPE plastics, reflecting a positive trend towards more sustainable waste management practices.
Polypropylene (PP) plastics, commonly found in condiment and medicine bottles, as well as straws, offer versatility and recyclability. Despite historically limited acceptance by recycling facilities, there's a positive trend with more curbside recyclers now recognizing their potential, reflecting a growing awareness of their environmental benefits.
Vinyl or PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) bottles are typically used for cleaners, detergents, and plumbing pipes, as well as in medical products and building materials like siding and windows. Despite their versatility, #3 plastic, including PVC, is rarely recycled. However, some facilities may accept it for recycling into siding or lumber products. Caution is advised when handling PVC as heating it releases harmful toxins, making burning unsuitable and melting processes highly controlled.
High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) is a versatile plastic commonly used in thin-walled products such as milk jugs, juice bottles, and various types of bags including shopping and garbage bags. Often labeled as #2 plastics, HDPE is widely collected by curbside recycling programs. Once recycled, HDPE can be repurposed into a range of new items including bottles, floor tiles, drainage pipes, lumber, fencing, and more.
Polystyrene (PS) plastics, often used in foam cups, plates, egg cartons, and takeout containers, have limited recycling opportunities. Despite potential recycling into insulation, such efforts are rare. Concerns about PS plastics leaching toxins into heated food have prompted some companies to seek alternative packaging. This shift reflects a growing awareness of health and environmental considerations.
PET (polyethylene terephthalate) bottles, commonly known as #1 bottles, serve as popular packaging for beverages like water and soda, as well as food items such as peanut butter. Despite their widespread use, only a fraction, approximately 20%, of these containers are currently recycled. However, their recycling potential is substantial, as they can be repurposed into various products including polar fleece, carpeting, and new containers
