What is a way to separate plastics making use of a different property than density?
You could separate plastics according to whether they have the recycling symbol or not. You could also separate them according to the type of material they had in them: drinks, oil, agricultural agents, etc.
How do you separate aluminium from plastics?
One way to separate aluminum from plastics is through a process called eddy current separation. This method uses magnetic induction to generate an electromagnetic field that repels aluminum, causing it to be separated from the plastics so they can be collected separately. Alternatively, manual sorting or specific gravity separation techniques can also be used to separate aluminum from plastics.
Why do different plastics separate like oil and water?
because they have different densities. waters density is 1.000 and plastic is 3.842
Why are there different recycling numbers?
There are different recycling numbers on different plastics because all plastics are different. Many recycling facilities need to separate these types of plastics because they all melt at different temperatures and can be reused for different things.
What do other countries do to recycle paper?
In Australia the paper is separated out from general garbage by using separate recycling bins for paper, cans, plastics and glass.
Where are recycling items taken?
Different communities do things differently. Some take plastics marked 1 through 6, and electronic recycling is separate.
How are plastics separated in scrap heap?
Plastics can be separated in a scrap heap using mechanical or automated sorting processes based on their physical properties, such as size, shape, and density. These methods may include shredding, screening, and flotation techniques to separate different types of plastics from one another and other materials like metal or glass. Advanced technologies such as near-infrared spectroscopy are also used for more accurate identification and sorting of plastics.

Are all plastics petrochemicals?
No, not all plastics are petrochemicals. A few examples of bioplastics (plastics made from biologic sources) include Polyhydroxyalkanoates, Polylactic Acids and a wider variety of starch based plastics.
