Visit to PlasticRecycling unit


Our project students with cubs and bulbuls visited plastic recycling unit.Our trip was arranged by Mr.C.G.S.Manion,Manager-Marketing,Polyester sector in Reliance industries limited,who is an apex member in Siruthuli Org.
He came with us and divided the students in groups and explained the steps taken to recycle the plastics.He explained-

Plastic recycling is the process of recovering scrap or waste plastics and reprocessing the material into useful products. For instance, this could mean melting down polyester soft drink bottles then spinning the polymer into fibres. Before recycling, plastics are sorted according totheir resin identification code.


Recycling assorted PET bottles or containers, which may contain post consumer PET soda bottles or water bottles of mixed colors. The discarded bottles are collected and may be manually sorted by color. Processing of scrap PET plastic includes granulating into a PET. flake, the flake is washed and reprocessed into a recovered PET resin

The students gained so much information

Mr.Manion showed the fibres which the converted by the plastic bottles.

We were surprised to see the fibres which are made from the waste plastic bottles.

We are thankful to Mr.Manion who gave us so much of information .
