Into what what things can you recycle plastics?

Answer 1

You can recycle plastic into anything. If something can be made out of plastic in the first place, then you can make any plastic object melt down and mold it into a new shape. That is WHY plastic is such cool stuff in the first place. Sanitary regulations require that if you want to make NEW plastic bottles out of old, used plastic, then you have to put two layers of NEW, UNUSED plastic around the center layer of OLD plastic, so that people don't have any way of contacting the "possibly contaminated" old plastic with their bare fingers or with the beverage in the container. Other than that, the sky is the limit. Very nice park benches have been made out of plastic milk bottles, for instance. They don't rot or break down, and the benches use up hundreds of milk bottles.
