How plastic is recycled: from collection to sorting and recycling centres
Everything you need to know about plastic recycling
Plastic is a durable and versatile material used in many industries, especially for packaging and everyday objects. Like all materials, however, if subjected to prolonged use it can deteriorate and, once its function is over, it must be disposed of properly. Optimal end-of-life management of plastic packaging and materials is fundamental for the protection of environment and the Planet and can lead to a significant limitation of plastic dispersion in the environment, transforming it from waste into a valuable reusable for the production of new products.
Plastiki ni nyenzo ya kudumu na ya kila siku inayotumiwa katika viwanda vingi, haswa kwa ufungaji na vitu vya kila siku. Hata hivyo, kama vifaa vingine vyote, ikiwa vitatumiwa kwa muda mrefu vinaweza kuharibika na, mara tu kazi yake itakapomalizika, ni lazima viondolewe kwa njia inayofaa. Usimamizi bora wa mwisho wa maisha ya vifurushi vya plastiki na vifaa ni muhimu kwa ulinzi wa mazingira na sayari na inaweza kusababisha kikomo kikubwa cha kuenea kwa plastiki katika mazingira, kuibadilisha kutoka taka kuwa bidhaa muhimu ya kutumiwa tena kwa uzalishaji wa bidhaa mpya.
