Why lpg stored in iron cylinders instead of rubbers and plastics?

LPG is stored in iron cylinders because iron is a strong and durable material that can withstand the high pressure at which LPG is stored. Rubber and plastics may not be able to handle the pressure or may degrade over time when in contact with LPG, posing safety risks. Iron cylinders are also more fire-resistant than rubber or plastic, providing an added layer of safety.

Can you melt plastics together with a soldering iron?

We generally don't "recycle" plastic like this (though plastic bags can and should be recycled). Plastic fees stock is relatively cheap and color and composition can be controlled tightly by using new plastic as opposed to "used" plastic.
