Because of the continuous low rate of plastic recycling, people are getting more and more aware of the seriousness of the pollution and the importance of creating a clean environment. People are struggling to find solutions to solve the problem. Many people are taking practical actions and worldwide communities and companies are making efforts to recycle takeout containers, empty yogurt cups, CD cases and other waste plastic.
People are all concerned about the serious environment pollution and trying to find out the efficient ways to solve the problem. Even the kids are aware of the importance of protecting the environment. Kids in the kindergartens are taught by teachers that plastic waste should be classified and then thrown into different rubbish bins. If there is a small triangle mark at the bottom of the plastic products, it means they can be recycled. And this kind of plastic rubbish should be put in the yellow rubbish bins.
The recent survey showed that the plastic waste can cause damage if they are buried in the ground. The nutrients can penetrate into the surrounding environment and contaminate the ground water. The gas which is emitted by the burned plastic is the main cause of the greenhouse effect and global warming. So, recycling plastic such as recycling polystyrene packaging is necessary. With more and more different types of plastic resources can be recycled and reused, the demand of landfill is decreasing and greenhouse gas emission is gradually reducing.
All of the practical actions are aimed at improving the recycling rate and protecting the environment. People have plans to expand recycling services and ban the certain EPS foam containers. Some of the cities even passed legislation to protect the environment. People can put different categories of trash in the bins and in the aside space of communities.
The waste can be manufactured into renewable products such as decorative frames and office supplies. It is necessary for people to ban the use of disposable polystyrene containers from now on. Many companies which have the technology and eps recycling machines are contributing to the efficient recycling methods.
