In Short
6 September 2010

In short;

  • Dumping plastics after use is on shaky ground, and is being increasingly seen as a waste of a valuable resource
  • Different plastics need recycling differently – and sorting can be costly
  • Colour impurities dramatically affect the resale value of recycled plastic, so waste often also needs to be sorted by colour
  • Scientists are researching ways to strip out the colour during reprocessing

Plastic bottles are going a long way and by using them to produce ISOTHERM, Brits Nonwoven is not only manufacturing safe and accessible roof insulation, but is helping to create income for some of the country’s poorest people.  What are you doing with your plastic?

Just for laughs - Make your own kayak out of plastic bottles!!

Did you know you can build yourself a Kayak out of recycled bottles? You might not be sailing the whole world in one of these kayaks but you can surely have some fun with it around your local lakes, ponds, or even your pool. Get inspired!

Or better yet, try your hand at a funky pair of recycled plastic boots!

Simple and easy…It’s really time to make smart use of your plastic waste!
