I got lung cancer just watching them in the PVC recycling place. Clouds of healthy looking green plastic dust.

"Watching these machines work is so mesmerizing and cool!"

Here in the USA the recycling programs are a farce, we take care to separate the different materials at home, take them or have them picked up by the “recyclers” who are making money for doing nothing. Let’s start with the fact that the only plastics that do get recycled are water bottles and milk or detergent jugs, the rest goes to the regular landfill. Wood products are not recycled in any way by the local recyclers. The only other things that get recycled are car batteries, electronic devices, metals and stolen catalytic converters. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will not issue fines or sanctions unless they are trying to drive someone off their land, while all along ignoring the crimes committed by industrial entities. It’s all a very bad and expensive joke.

The plastic crisis needs to be dealt with. The manufactures need to be accountable

Used to deliver to Manhattan every Sunday night, Mon morning starting at around 1am. Never saw so much garbage on street in my life. Mountains of piled up garbage bags

Fun fact: most of the world’s recycled products never even get recycled.

I can only imagine the stench in and around those facilities.

I can't be the only one of 1.5 million people who have subscribed to this who recognizes that "recycling" is at a crisis level. Just read the comments...I'm not alone.

You can make cornstarch and potato plastic

I always wondered what happened to my household recyclables. Thanks 👍 for showing me! 😊😊 Cool video. 😊

How is waste converted into an energy resource especially to produce electricity? And how much energy is used to create these energy resources?

There are all kinds of videos explaining how this just costs people money and millions of tons of recyclables don’t get recycled.

Modern recycling is a myth.

Amazing how, in Pakistan, clear PETA bottles and red caps are turned into green and purple PVC.

전세계에 환경 세금을 만들면 재활용 활성화와 쓰레기양을 감소시킬수 있겠지 바다의 면적에 따른 국가별 해양 환경 보존 세금도 만든다면 무리하게 해양 면적을 욕심내는 중공과 일본은 분쟁을 줄이겠지

Recycling must be better

Ok ok ok 👍👌👍👌👍👌❤❤❤

People who do these jobs see it as the lowest type of work. But it's a new generation work. Let's give them the message

I want to actually see a video of this stuff becoming a new product

excellent.

Amazingly, in India, they turn clear and red plastic into green pipes.

has recycling plastics (which involves breaking it down to smaller pieces ad speeding up the breakdown process) contributed at all to the rise in microplastics?

They don't show the US, where there's very little plastic recycling, although we do recycle glass, paper and metal.

I'll bet recycling alcohol containers in Ireland is a lucrative business!🤣

Eh sabse khatarnak hai waist matrial

Deberían de hacer casas de pacas de basura en los Estados Unidos hacen casas de llantas viejas paletas de montacargas pacas de pastura etc etc etc asi no hubiera tanta basura en los basureros

Ok were going from recycling trash to making pvc pipe which isn’t made from trash

PET bottles are the and what about other plastics???

What a load of rubbish (the video not the topic) you’ve taken different clips and cut them to look like that’s what actually happens, one minute your showing a clip in in the UK and then suddenly we’re in India! How about showing a plant that does the lot not just cutting other peoples clips?

Anyone else thought of WALL-E ???

Yang merosakkan ekosistem lautan dan daratan dengan pelbagai sampah adalah hasil dari tangan manusia sendiri.. Bukan nya haiwan....

宝の山ですね。

😢😢😢 human destroys everything.

Y para que tanta complicación en seleccionar el plástico con esas pacas de ése tamaño o quizá mas flacas se puede hacer una bodega o una casa igual como en los Estados Unidos y después se emplasta con cemento y queda igual de maciza que si fuera puro cemento y además bien aislada y toda la basura no causaria tanto estrago en los basureros así es camaradas

Sounds annoying having to sort through all of that. I used to work at one of those recycling plants I ended up quitting after a few months

Wall-E.

This is what's needed to support severe over-population now.

In Pakistan many things are recycled !

En el minuto 4, 32 como se llama la canción lenta con piano ?.

This is just a content theft/recycling video, same as so many others.

Fake. It all gets dumped.
