Product Description:
Plastic bags are popular with consumers and retailers as they are a functional, lightweight, strong, cheap, and hygienic way to transport food and other products. The over consumption of plastic bags find their way on to our streets, parks, and into our waterways.
In past few decades the use of plastic has increased all over the world. Plastic is a big threat to our Planet Earth. The reason is plastics are not biodegradable. Plastic is not capable of being decomposed by biological agents. Hence, when thrown after use, it is not decomposed, which tends to threat the earth. Although plastic bags make up only a small percentage of the total litter zones, the impact of these bags is no doubt significant. Plastic bags create visual pollution problems and can have catastrophic effects on aquatic and terrestrial animals. Plastic bags are particularly striking components of the litter zone due to their size and can take a long time to fully break down (not biodegradable). Multiwall Bags A multiwall bag is two to six bags, one sitting inside the other. These bags are exceptionally strong because each layer carries its own share of the weight of the product, so the bags often are used to ship large quantities of heavy materials. Plastic Recycling process: Plastics cause serious environmental problems. Although they are not intrinsically Dangerous, they take up a huge amount of space in landfills and they are made from a nonrenewable resource, namely fossil fuels. For these reasons it is important that, where Possible, plastics are recycled.

The recycling of plastics is carried out in a five step process. Step I Procurement:
This is done through roadside collections, special recycling bins and directly from industries that use a lot of plastic. Or this can be collected by intermediatories.Especially who are placed in Gandhi nagar junc dealers Step II Separation:
At this stage nails and stones are removed, and the plastic is sorted into three types: PET, HDPE and 'other. Step III Crushing:
The sorted plastic is cut into small pieces ready to be melted down. Step IV Grinding:
This stage removes contaminants such as paper labels, dirt and remnants of the product originally contained in the plastic. Step V Pelleting The plastic is then melted down and extruded into small pellets ready for reuse.
Some recycled plastic is then used in applications similar to those for which virgin plastic is used. The remaining plastic is made into a variety of objects such as Multiwall Bags etc.

RECYCLING PROCESS Step 1 – Procurment: Plastics for recycling come from two main sources: post consumer plastics and post industrial plastics. Post consumer plastics are those which have already been used by people. These are the plastics collected in plastics recycling bins and at domestic roadside collections. Post industrial plastics, on the other hand, are rejects from industry — offcuts, damaged batches etc. These plastics are collected either directly from the industry or collected by the local council, squashed into bales and sold to a recycler. Step 2 – Separation: In theory, every type of plastic can be recycled. In practise in New Zealand only codes 1 (PET) and 2 (HDPE) are recycled. The incoming plastic is manually sorted into these two codes and 'other', and the three separate streams sent off to be chipped. It is particularly important that all PVC is removed from the PET stream as the more sophisticated sorting used later on cannot differentiate between these two types of plastic. Any rocks, nails, meta letc. that is mixed in with the plastic is also manually removed at this stage. A summary of the plastics recycling codes is given. Step 3 – Chipping or Crushing: Each sorted stream of plastic is then sent separately to a chipper. This is a cylinder of blades somewhat like an old-fashioned lawnmower in a vessel with a 10 mm grill floor. The blades cut the material until it is small enough to fall through the grill.
Step 4 – Grinding: The chips are then washed to remove glue, paper labels, dirt and any remnants of the product they once contained. Both the "other" stream and the PET stream are washed at around 90oC for at least twelve minutes, while the HDPE (which has a much lower melting point) must be washed below 40oC to prevent discolouration. The wash solution consists of an alkaline detergent in water, which removes dirt and grease and degrades protein. The detergent used is an alkaline, cationic detergent (i.e. an alkaline

solution containing a cationic surfactant). Dishwashing detergents are usually anionic, because glass, china etc. usually build up a negative surface charge. This means that positively charged dirt particles are attracted to them, so an anionic detergent is needed to remove the dirt. If a cationic surfactant were used it not only would be incapable of removing the dirt, but it would itself stick to the surface to be cleaned, making it greasy. However, plastics aquire a positive surface charge, meaning that a cationic detergent is needed to clean them. Cationic surfactants are much less common than anionic ones, but they are used for shampoos and for fabric softeners1. Surfactants are explained in more detail in the article on soaps and detergents. During washing the agitator in the wash tank acts as an abrasive, grinding off the glue of the labels and reducing any paper labels to fibres. The plastics are then separated from the glue, paper, dirt etc. in a spinning tower in which this very fine material is forced out through small holes, while the plastic itself remains inside. The plastics are then further rinsed and then (in the PET and HDPE streams) separated on the basis of weight. This is done using a water cyclone which is designed to separate out the given plastic from all the others.
Step 5 - Pelleting This is done by melting the chips and extruding them out first through a fine grill to remove any solid dirt or metal particles that have made it through the treatment thus far and then through a die of small holes. If the plastic was simply allowed to extrude from these holes it would come out as spaghetti-like strings and quickly tangle together. However, it is sprayed with water as it comes out (to prevent the plastic from sticking together) and cut off by rotating knives to give small, oval pellets.
