Plastic bottles go through a series of steps to become new plastic products.

Baling: Collected bottles are condensed for

shipping Each bale weighs 800 to 1,200 pounds

Sorting: The bottles are then optically sorted.Then go through a machine

Melting:The flakes are then washed, dried and melted.

FlakingThe melted plastic is formed into flakes.

Next applicationsFlakes are spun into fine, thread like material to make textiles and other materials.

Benefits of Recycling Plastic Bottles
