    Plastic recycling promotes proper utilization of plastic waste and helps conserve the environment by reducing plastic pollution and reliance on virgin materials. However, plastic can only be recycled about 2-3 times before its quality decreases, and it is difficult to distinguish different types of plastic visually. Mechanical recycling, which washes, grinds, and melts plastic, is more effective than chemical recycling. Common plastics like PET, HDPE, LDPE, and PP can be recycled through this process and remade into new plastic products or used as filler.

    Executive Summary Plastic recycling is the process of recovering scrap or waste plastic and
    reprocessing the material into useful products, even recycled plastic has new plastic material added in;
    the same piece of plastic can only be recycled about 2-3 times before its quality decreases to the point
    where it can no longer be used. Plastic recycling not only promotes proper utilization of plastic waste
    but also helps conserve the environment, making it cleaner and greener. It reduces high rates of plastic
    pollution while putting less pressure on virgin materials to produce brand new plastic products. This
    approach helps to conserve resources and diverts plastics from landfills or unintended destinations such
    as oceans. Plastic recycling has one huge problem due to specific categories of plastic types. It is hard to
    tell one type from another by looking at it but, consumers can identify the types of plastics by the
    numerical coding system created by the Society of the Plastics Industry Mechanical recycling (chop and
    wash, where the plastic is washed, ground into powders and melted) is the most recommended ways of
    recycling than chemical recycling Thermoplastics can be re-melted and reused while thermoset plastics
    can be gather and used as filler. Depending on the waste Thermoplastics recyclability and local
    availability, the principal raw material of this project are Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), Polyethylene
    (HDPE and LDPE) and Polypropylene (PP).
