Even though we use different kinds of plastics, plastic bottles play a major role in our day to day activities.
Plastic bottles are preferred by most people because they are usually lighter and do not break easily like glass materials or bottles.
So it has become a common product used by everyone.
Fortunately plastic is one of the materials that can be recycled after you use it, but most people don't consider the benefits of recycling.
What is the use of recycling Plastic bottles? By recycling the plastic water bottles in five areas it can be beneficial for you and your people.
The five areas are, 1.
Oil 2.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions 3.
Energy 4.
Reuse 5.
Landfill Space Oil Conservation: By recycling plastic bottles we can save almost four barrels of oil.
We all know how the rising price of oil affects our day to day life.
The increase in the price of oil causes the rise in price of gas, food, products, and other commodities.
However, people don't really understand the importance of recycling plastic bottles.
Reduction in Greenhouse Gas Emissions Can you imagine, it takes less processing to recycle things.
So, this means you require less energy for new manufacturing as well as less pollution being emitted.
This brings about a reduction in greenhouse gasses.
Conserving Our Energy As we all know, recycling does not consume of much energy.
You can use two-thirds the energy to manufacture from recycled products.
In the case of plastic bottles, which are used in water and soft drinks and are made up of material called Polyethylene Terephthalate (PTH), one pound of recycled PET can save as much as twelve-thousand BTU's energy.
The Benefits of 'Reuse' Most people think that when a plastic bottle is recycled it transformed into a similar bottle.
However, the fact is that the plastic bottle you are using now will change into something completely different after the recycling process.
It may become carpeting; it may be someone's jacket or (if you can imagine) even part of someone's deck.
People need to understand this and know that recycled material is used as a resource.
The water bottle that you see now will not be the same when it is recycled.
Save our Landfills You may be thinking 'how much room can one plastic bottle really take?'.
If everyone in the USA were to think that way, imagine how many plastic bottles that would be.
One of the biggest problems facing us today is that our landfills are running out of space.
The need to create new landfills, which take up more space and puts more trash into our earth, is never ending.
One of the only solutions left to us is to drastically reduce what we put into them.
People should know by recycling one ton of plastic bottles you can free up to 7.
4 cubic yards of landfills.
Considering the recycling avenues available nowadays, that turns out to be a lot of space that is being used unnecessarily.
As you can see, there are many benefits of recycling plastic bottles.
