Many plastics can be recycled, but your local recycler may only recycle a few kinds of plastic. Check with them.
PET plastic (Number 1) (soft drink bottles) is recycled easily and is probably in demand.
Here are the basic steps to recycle, for example, PET bottles (Resin ID Code 1)
All plastic can be recycled. However, it is difficult to separate (by hand), and different plastics use different amounts of energy to get them back to their original condition. If there is a mixture of different kinds of plastics in the melt they can separate and degrade the final product. (This is why we are asked to remove plastic lids, as they are always made from a different kind of plastic).
There are many types of plastic. Plastic must be sorted by type for recycling since each type melts at a different temperature and has different properties. The plastics industry has developed an identification system (or identification codes) to label the different types of plastic. The identification system divides plastic into seven distinct types and uses a number code generally found on the bottom of containers.
When recycling plastic, the process generally works like this:
Take It To A Nearby Recycling Plant , and it will be reused .
By recycling you can conserve plastic and help the environment.
When you recycle it it goes back to the bottle making factories and they melt it down to a liquid, put it in a mold , wait for it to cool and they sell the bottles over again.
