Although there is only a word difference between plastic bags and plastic bottles, apart from the fact that the raw materials are all plastic, they are vastly different.
Everyone may be wondering why plastic bottles can be recycled, but plastic bags cannot? Today, everyone can solve this mystery with Houde plastic tape.
Although there is only a word difference between plastic bags and plastic bottles, apart from the fact that the raw materials are all plastic, they are vastly different. Firstly, we need to understand the materials of both. Plastic bags are generally made of high-density polyethylene, low-density polyethylene, or linear low-density polyethylene, which cannot be used to make polyester fibers. In addition, the cost of recycling increases and decomposition is difficult. The ultimate result of plastic bags is usually sent to landfills or incineration along with household waste.
Plastic bottles are generally made of food grade PET, which is not easily broken, has high transparency, is safe to use, and has a high recycling value. Moreover, recycling plastic bottles has become a common practice in various countries. Currently, only a small portion of PET bottles recycled globally have been made into plastic and unsaturated polyester products. The remaining majority is used in the textile industry, which is internally referred to as recycled fibers. After a series of processes, they never make textile products. Whether it's plastic bottles or bags, there is a final destination.
Although we always emphasize that plastic is the culprit of environmental pollution, plastic itself is not wrong. What is wrong is people's improper disposal of plastic. As long as we use all resources correctly and appropriately, achieve the right amount, usage, and disposal, then "weapons" like plastic will become "sharp tools" and the environmental burden will be greatly reduced.
