Explanation:

Plastic recycling process

Plastic recycling is broken up into a few distinct steps. Generally these steps remain the same for most types of recycling facilities, but certain steps can be combined or omitted in some situations.

Step 1: Collection

The first step in the recycling process is always collecting the plastic material that is to be recycled.

Step 2: Sorting

After plastics are collected and transported to a recycling facility, the next step is sorting.

Step 3: Washing

Just like with clothes, fruits/vegetables, and many other things, plastics must be washed before they are further processed. The goal of this step is to remove impurities and everything that is not made from plastic.

Step 4: Resizing

Resizing consists of shredding or granulating the plastic waste into small particles. This increases the surface area of the plastic, making it easier to process, reshape, and transport if needed.

Step 5: Identification and separation of plastics

The identification and separation of plastics is when the now small plastic particles are tested to determine their quality and class.

Step 6: Compounding

The final step in the recycling process is often considered the most exciting because it is when the plastic particles are made into recycled materials usable for future production. Compounding is when the small particles are smashed and melted together into plastic pellets. The pellets can then be used in the production of other plastic products [1].
