im having trouble finding info about recycling.. can anyone help me find some sites about what happens to different categories when they are recycled?
I want it for a science project. so please help me. i want a detailed step-wise description of the process of recycling plastics.
A:Reprocessing by remelting plastics involves breaking the polymer back into its component monomers.
B:Burn polymers to obtain energy, energy recycling.
Take used polymer such as polystyrene and produce a lower quality
polymer product such as insulation, toys, or packaging peanuts.
C:Small inorganic and organic contaminants in polymers complicate the plastic recycling process.
D:Transforming the plastics to create synthetic crude oils or synthesis gas.
I heard it has something to do with what it can hold. And not necessarily recycling.

Better yet, how do recycling plants separate the different materials. I know that if you were to mix two different types of plastics, that they would not be able to be re-used(even though I heard of a new technology where someone was able to mix two different types of plastics to form a super strong one). How do they separate plastics 1-5 and number 7? Also, how do they separate the adhesives and other materials on recyclable products like glass and plastic bottles?
