Best answer:

Answer by Dr Green
There are plenty of buyers in the UK, but I fear the costs of transporting a container of regrind to the UK may be too expensive. Any idea how much the Shipping would be.

PEHD caps and crate are of interest. No use here for PET.

For my project I am turning plastic bags into reusable shopping bags. This way I am recycling plastic, and also preventing plastic bags from being used in the future. I need a title that is catchy, unique, and stands out. It needs to be somewhat short. Any ideas?!?!

Recycled Plastic Decking And How To Customize The Look

Article by David Walch

Picking a deck for the backyard can be an exciting opportunity. Each house will have a unique way that the deck can look and enhance the appearance of the home. Some people want a certain shape or colour of their Recycled Plastic Decking. With a flexible decking solution, a customer can truly customize the look and design that they want.

A backyard size and the home’s shape will influence the look of the deck. A large home could have a wrap around deck that takes the Recycled Plastic Decking and pulls it around the home. There may be slight angles on each corner to give the deck some shape and character.

When a home is small and features a flat front, a deck can be shaped in a few different ways. There are various square type shapes that can be used. Recycled Plastic Decking comes in various sizes and patterns. There are small decks used for a BBQ and small patio and then there are larger designs that can hold a large patio set.

A Recycled Plastic Decking solution can also enhance the look of a hot tub or pool. These particular decks may be built around a deck or outline the edge of a pool. The various kits and patterns will allow it to be fit around any shape or object.

Many people will take their time planning out and creating the ideal deck size. A homeowner will need to think about where they want the actual deck to go and what size and characteristics would help it to look great. Some people want the Recycled Plastic Decking to hold a variety of functions. A BBQ, patio set and garden style living set may all be items that a person may request on their deck unit.

The colours of these decks will range from neutral, to bold colours that really make a statement. Some people want their Recycled Plastic Decking to look like wood. They could choose plastic colours that also look like wood. Dark shades and tones may give the appearance of wood from a distance and even up close. Bright and bold colours can help to create a custom look.

Recycled Plastic Decking can be set up in an easy way. A kit will explain how to put the pieces together and how to lay it out the right way. The panels are light so that anyone can lift them and move them into place. Many homeowners will set up a deck in an afternoon. The instructions are easy to follow and many pictures will show someone exactly how it should look through each step. The creation of a deck will add value to a home and make it extra appealing.

The combination of colour and style will help to create the ultimate deck in a backyard. Recycled Plastic Decking is the ideal way to create a truly personalized shape and style in a backyard deck. Some people may place Recycled Plastic Wood Decking in the front of the home and another one in the backyard.

Thank you

Answer by ♥
You should always recycle plastic. Plastics can take up to a thousand years or more to decompose. Recycled plastics can be made into thousands of different new products. The amount of water needed to recycle plastic is a minimal compared to the environmental impact recycling the plastic will have. If a drought were bad enough to shut down a recycling center, they could stockpile the products until the drought is over, or ship to a nearby facility that is unaffected by the drought. There’s never a good reason not to recycle. And by the way, before you debate someone, you may want to check your spelling.

Does recycling plastic cause too much damage?

Question by Light: Does recycling plastic cause too much damage?
I’ve heard that an enormous amount of energy is used to recycle plastic. How much more energy does it take to recycle plastic than it takes to recycle paper products?
