Have No Fear! Recyclable Plastic Bottles are here!

       Our Planet is currently faced with an issue that threatens the very existence of mankind! With trash starting to accumulate and taking up vast landscapes, the end of human civilization seems imminent. As Many people know, plastic has been a major factor that contributes to the build up of garbage deposits around the globe. Unfortunately, although everyone is seemingly aware of the environmental deficits of the usage of plastic, the issue is often met with neglect. However, with the great invention of recyclable plastic bottles, we have been purged of many environmental concerns that could have haunted us for centuries. I buy it partially because that it is made from already used plastic and will help cut down the amount of plastic that will be buried at the trash yards. The main reason; however, is the low cost attribute that comes along with the purchase of the recyclable plastic bottles.
       Unfortunately, with our modern technology, we still lack the skill and knowledge to find the efficient methods to recycle plastic more than once; therefore, the recycled plastic bottles' production usually comes in small amounts. Another barrier that impedes the proliferation of recyclable plastic bottles is the additives that are applied in the plastic. Often, the plastic comprise of additives such as dyes that provide color to the plastic and fillers that allow the manufacturers to alter the properties of the plastic to their likings (ex. Strengthen the plastic). This induces difficulties in the extraction of the additives during the plastic recycling process. Although humans have not yet found an efficient solution to recycling plastic bottles, thanks to the invention of it, we are able to reduce, reuse, and recycle plastic bottles! Together we will protect the earth!
