What else can I help you with?
Is plastic recycleable?
Yes, plastic is recyclable. Many types of plastic can be melted down and reprocessed into new products. It's important to check with your local recycling program to see which types of plastics they accept for recycling.
How can I create a DIY project using recycled plastic materials?
To create a DIY project using recycled plastic materials, you can start by collecting plastic bottles, containers, or bags. Clean and dry the plastic items thoroughly. Then, you can cut, melt, or reshape the plastic to create new items such as a planter, a bird feeder, or a decorative piece of art. Use tools like scissors, a heat gun, or a mold to shape the plastic as needed. Be creative and experiment with different techniques to transform the recycled plastic into something useful and unique.
Is acrylonitrile styrene recyclable?
Yes, acrylonitrile styrene (AS) is recyclable. It is a type of plastic that can be recycled into new products through processes like melt recycling. Proper separation and collection of AS waste can help in its recycling and reducing environmental impact.
What is the source of materials for volcanoes the erupt?
rocks near the mantle melt and become magma, the volcano launches this magma and it opens a new layer of rock to melt
What are the plastic sticks in new shoes called?
The plastic sticks in new shoes are commonly referred to as "shoe trees" or "shoe horns," depending on their function. Shoe trees help maintain the shape of the shoe and absorb moisture, while shoe horns assist in putting on shoes without damaging the heel. Some shoes may also come with "shoe inserts" or "shoe supports" to provide additional comfort and structure.

Can you melt plastics together with a soldering iron?
Yes, plastic can be melted and reformed, but all the precautions taken when making the original plastic item apply to "remaking" a new item from another one. 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.
Why do plastic objects warp or shrink when placed in boiling water?
It depends on the plastic. Some plastics might melt. Or burn. Or release toxic chemicals into the food. Others won't. Teflon's pretty darn safe, for example, though you probably still don't want to get it so hot it melts (Teflon does not burn).

Into what what things can you recycle plastics?
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.
What is made by Vacuum Moulding?
Vacuum molding is the process of using a vacuum to suck a pliable material into a specified shape. For example, the plastic hull in a boat is made when the warmed plastic is pliable (shape can be altered for useful purposes) and is sucked up against a form in the shape the designer wants the hull of the boat to be in. While the vacuum holds the reshaped plastic hull against the form, the plastic cools and holds the new shape.
Can you put a plastic bar in new lip piercing?
No. Plastic can't be autoclaved, it will melt. Which means that it can't be sterilized and you don't want dirty jewelry in a new piercing. Wait at least a month before wearing acrylics. However, you can wear bioplast. Which is a flexible plastic bar/ring. It can be autoclaved so it's fine.
What will happen to a plastic ruler when it is bend?
When a plastic ruler is bent, it will likely deform and may permanently retain the new shape to some extent. The extent of deformation will depend on the type of plastic, the force applied, and the duration of the bending.
What happens to bottles after recycling?
They go to a plant that turns it back into a water bottle.
The type of deformation in which the object permanently changes size and shape without fracturing is called?
Plastic deformation. This occurs when stress applied to the material causes it to change shape without breaking. The material retains this new shape even after the stress is removed.
Does a plastic mouthpiece expand in boiling water?
DON'T TRY IT. It probably would, but you might accidentally melt it. You don't want to have to buy a new mouthpiece and break in the cork, reed, and ligature and those are kind of expensive.
When was New Plastic Ideas created?
New Plastic Ideas was created in 1994-03.
