Can non-degradable plastic bags be recycled?

The difficulty of recycling is mainly due to economic benefits and other factors.Plastic according to its different processing properties can be divided into thermoplastic plastic and thermosetting plastic two categories.Thermosetting and thermoplastic plastics is like the difference between ceramic and glass, after a heating can not melt, after another heating can also melt, this feature makes the thermoplastics can simply reuse, make recycled plastic is given priority to with thermoplastics, such as PVC, PMMA, PS, PA, PE, PP, ABS, POM, PC, PPO, PPS, etc.Degradable plastics are divided into: photodegradable plastics (mixed with photosensitizer in plastic, plastic gradually decomposed under sunshine);Biodegradable plastics (which can be completely broken down into low-molecular compounds under the action of natural microorganisms such as bacteria, mold and algae);Water degradable plastic (add water absorbent material in plastic, discard in water after use can be dissolved, mainly used for medical and health appliances to facilitate destruction and disinfection treatment) most of the plastic bags that can be seen on the market are non-degradable thermoplastic plastics (degradable will not be reused!), can be recycled.However, the current household garbage classification is unclear (only using the recyclable, non-recyclable classification is far from enough), low recycling efficiency (plastic bags are cheap and easy to obtain raw materials, high cost of recycling) and other factors make recycling and recycling difficult, most of them are mixed with household garbage landfill or incineration treatment.Tip: Reduce your use of unnecessary plastic.Reuse plastic bags as much as possible.Strengthen public opinion guidance, refine garbage classification, reduce the cost of recycling.Raise the cost of plastic bags, guide and promote the development of recycling industry.
