Plastic food packaging recycling is not difficult

Sometimes, sustainable plastic food bags and environment-friendly packaging materials not relations, but with how we handle the product concerned. For example, the bottled water industry has been a lot of criticism, when people drink water that perfectly clean and sealed, resulting in a lot of unnecessary waste bottle. However, some communities and universities are working hard, through the establishment of refills site, reduce waste of plastic water bottles. People no longer need to buy bottles from the vending machines, you can take the empty bottles, filled with water free. This is a good start, but part of the problem of plastic food bags.

Typically, disposable packaging in retail stores now is the most common. From water bottles to drink to personal care products, cosmetics and cleaning products are disposable packaging, and then it is discarded. We hope that some of the package will be re-used, although we also know that recovery is a challenge for consumers. But repopulate the site if we take this idea and apply it to other liquid products, there will be how kind of consequences?

In the past, beverage companies and other liquid products manufacturers the use of glass packaging, may be re-used in the earliest forms of packaging. The reason is that you have to put your empty milk bottles on the door, the milkman will be recovered tomorrow morning! Glass is very durable, easy to clean, and constantly refilled, and when the time is up, it can be recycled. Repopulate the site without lower prices or lower the quality of liquid products, we can significantly reduce packaging waste, few consumers rarely go to those retail stores to repopulate the site. Bulk purchase is a viable option, it is necessary to limit the package, to provide consumers with greater value.

Barrier plastic food bag recycling is almost non-existent, because consumers need to do is fill a box, and then returned to the box. There are many different types of boxes to choose from, there are some specific waste streams, others do not need to waste classification acceptable. When re-using or filling is not possible, recycling is the best method for processing waste streams.
