Due to their light weight, most recycling centres do not accept plastic bags. They can easily get stuck inside machinery when recycled as well. however, most grocery stores throughout the U.S. now offer plastic bag recycling. However, the trick is actually remembering to take those excess bags with you next time you go to the store. Here are a couple of reminding tips:
* Hang a cloth bag in your kitchen or garage where you put excess plastic bags. It will be easy to notice once you leave the house.
* When filling out your grocery list, make sure to add "recycle plastic bags."
* Don't forget about the other light weight plastics! Plastic film, dry cleaning bags, newspaper bags and other plastic wrap from products can be recycled at your grocery store as well.
* Toss your leftover plastic bags in your reusable shopping bags. You'll remember both on your next trip to the store.
1. It's worth a thousands words - plastic bag photograde, meaning they slowly break down into smaller and smaller bits that can contaminate the air that you breathe!
2.Everyone wants it - there is high demand for this material.
3. It's so trashy- aacording to EPA, the amount of plastics generation in municipal waste stream has increased from less than 1 % in 1960 to 12.1 % in 2007.
