• In some countries, over a half of all new aluminium cans are made using recycled aluminium.

TEN THINGS YOU CAN RECYCLE:

  • Aluminium Cans
  • Glass Bottles
  • Milk Bottles
  • Phone Directories
  • Tyres
  • Cling-film
  • Water and Soft Drink Bottles
  • Paper
  • Ice Cream Containers
  • Meat Trays
  • If the Earth's ice caps melt completely, many coastal cities would go under-water.
 

Ages ago people never thought about using an object as something else. They pretty much just threw everything out the window, just like during the Great Plague.

Now we have a system called RECYCLING.

RECYCLING is the most commonly practised of the five 'r's'. It means to melt down and reshape it to make something else. There are seven different types of plastics that you can RECYCLE.

They are:

  • Polyethylene ( 1 PET )
  • High Density Polyethylene
    ( 2 HDPE )
  • Polyvinyl chloride ( 3 PVC )
  • Low Density Polyethylene
    ( 4 LDPE )
  • Polypropylene ( 5 PP )
  • Polystyrene ( 6 PS )
  • Thermoplastic ( 7 ABS )
