what is done to plastic material in the plastic factory
In a plastic factory, raw plastic material is processed and shaped through heating, molding, extrusion, or injection molding techniques. Additives such as colorants, stabilizers, and fillers may be mixed in to enhance the material's properties. Finally, the plastic is cooled and trimmed into the desired shape or form.
Cutting plastic in a more sustainable and environmentally friendly way can be done by reducing the use of single-use plastics, opting for reusable alternatives, recycling plastic materials, and supporting initiatives that promote the use of biodegradable plastics.
Please go onto www.google.com ASK: What government trials have been done on edible plastics on meats? However, I have never heard of such a thing. Plastic SHOULD be taken off all meats.
All plastic can be recycled, but it may not be easily recyclable where you live. It is difficult because:# Plastics have to be separated into different kinds. This is time consuming and labor intensive as, up till now, it has to be done by hand. # If a mixture of plastics is recycled together they either contaminate the melt or you get a lower grade of plastic than the originals. This is called 'downcycling'. # Plastics need much more energy to recycle than paper, glass or metals. # Some plastics can be recycled into higher quality plastics, but this uses extra energy. This is called 'upcycling'. # For these reasons if your local authority has kerbside collections, it may not collect all seven types of plastic. The Resin ID Number on the base of a plastic bottle tells what kind of plastic it is. The triangle with the chasing arrows does NOT mean you can recycle it. It identifies the kind of plastic used.See the related question below.
Banning all plastic would not be good for the human race. Ignoring the fact that bread is essentially a plastic, plastic is used for everything from replacement parts during surgery to holding space shuttles together. It carpets homes, paints walls, protects food, sheds water, makes car tires, becomes fiber for cloths, tooth fillings, replaces ivory keys on pinos,prevents pollution, insulates wires. Finding replacement natural products would be almost impossible. The question that should perhaps have been asked was: * "What could be done to replace existing plastics with more ecologically friendly plastics?, or * "How can plastics be recycled?", or * "What are essential uses of plastic and which uses are open to alternates?", or * "How can plastic disposal be reduced?"
That is commonly done.

Polyester plastics, ABS, PET, PMMA, nylon, acrylic, and many other plastics are good for laser cutting. The acrylic will cut and leave a polished edge if done properly. ABS is a material used in many parts, including automotive components, and cuts and leaves a good edge. Textiles made of polyester or nylon will cut and seal (not fray) with laser cutting. Avoid plastics with carbon in them because they can discolor. For example, Lexan is a brand name for polycarbinate material (same as bulletproof glass). As the name polycarbinate indicates, carbon is a part of this material, and carbon can change color or turn black and sticky when laser cut. Thin polycarbinate membrane material can be laser cut well, but quarter inch polycarbinate typically gives bad results. Avoid plastics like vinyl and PVC because they give off chlorine acid when cut, polyvinyl chloride. The acid will deteriorate the machine and can injure the operator if not exhausted properly. Some plastics were designed for laser use and thus perform exceptionally well. Rowmark makes a line of plastics that are two color laminates for laser engraving and cutting. See the related link for laser cut samples.
== == It would help, if you had time, but it is not necessary, any cleaning that needs to be done can be at the recycling center.
According to Penn State University, a plastic bag takes 10 to 20 years to decompose, where as a plastic container takes 50 to 80 years to decompose. The worse though is a plastic soda bottle. A plastic soda bottle takes 450 years to decompose! All of these types of plastics are recyclable however. This is just another reason why recycling should be done by everyone.
,Buy rolls of window plastic and make a clean room to paint in, just cover everything with it from floor to ceiling, thats how we did it at the body shop once we were done sandblasting Also plastics tend to get alot of static electricity built from sanding and wiping down. Final step of prep for plastics wipe with glass cleaner WITH AMMONIA this will reduce static and remove bodily oils.
