For more than 45 Years I have been recycling difficult mixed plastics into either re-mouldable pellets, or the manufacture of end products such as BioBead filtration media , or Recoboard for thick plywood replacement manufactured with 100% co-mingled post consumer plastics. In these last few years the requirement has suddenly "come of age" with everyone now showing interest in what was obviously needed 40 years ago. Instead of glorifying the plastic wastes and recognizing them as a valuable and re-workable material, the ill informed and sometime unintelligent public demonize this material. Just because they are too idle to take care of this resource. Instead, just throw it out of the car window, or drop it into any rubbish bin. Councils and Governments themselves have ignored the potential by not investing in the infrastructure to separate ALL plastics from waste streams, which has been irrevocably proven that technology can do this - It just requires dedication and investment, to recover and reuse this really valuable resource.
