Plastic Recycling Concerns and Issues

Thu, 2011-03-10 16:54

Modern plastics are a pretty incredible substance, but there are some real issues with plastics. Some may never biodegrade for example. You can find the most deserted and remote island in the south Pacific and the shores will absolutely be littered with plastic substances like bottles, bags, 6 pack holders, boxes, and much more. We are often told that most plastics break down or biodegrade in 100 years, but since plastics have not existed that long, we are not really sure. Now some newer plastics are described as biodegradable, meaning they do break down, but most of these require oxygen. This means that, for example, plastic bags buried in a land fill and not going to break down as they have no oxygen. Obviously one solution, at least a partial solution, is recycling plastics.

The academe is one place where paper is used and wasted in huge volumes every day. This can be due to the fact that the lifeblood of the school depends largely on transactions and records that are kept in the office from enrolment receipts to class records and diplomas, and materials used inside the classroom like books, notebooks, quizzes, exams, and art materials. Everything is made of paper and although this particular resource is recyclable, there are actually very few companies and facilities who do recycle their used papers or at least bring these into recycling plants.
