Recycling plastic is a process that has many benefits for the environment, economy, and society. Some of the key benefits of recycling plastic include:
Conservation of natural resources: By recycling plastic, we reduce the need for virgin plastic, which is made from fossil fuels, and conserve resources.
Reduction in greenhouse gas emissions: The production of virgin plastic requires the use of fossil fuels, which releases carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. Recycling plastic reduces the need for virgin plastic and therefore reduces emissions.
Energy savings: The process of recycling plastic requires less energy than producing new plastic from raw materials, leading to energy savings.
Job creation: The recycling industry creates jobs in areas such as collection, sorting, and processing of recyclable materials.
Waste reduction: Recycling plastic diverts waste from landfills, reducing the negative impact on the environment and contributing to waste reduction.
Cost savings: The price of virgin plastic is often volatile and subject to global market fluctuations. Recycling plastic can provide a more stable supply of raw material and reduce costs for manufacturers.
Increased lifespan of plastic products: When plastic is recycled it can be used to produce new products, this increases the lifespan of plastic products and reduces the need for new plastic.
Overall, recycling plastic is an essential process that helps conserve resources, reduces pollution and energy consumption, creates jobs and economic opportunities and contributes to waste reduction.
In Bangladesh, plastic bags are thrown away by it’s end users. Resulting clogging up the drainage system and flooding streets during rainy season.
Discarded plastics can be sorted and stored for recycling. This will reduce the risk of contamination and give pure grade product output to the recycling factories.
In our facility located in Hazaribag, Dhaka area; we have recycled more than 570 metric ton of single use plastic bags in a year. Our plastic to rubber making process is unique and more environment friendly.
