ÖZKARTALLAR RECYCLING PLASTIC
The main source for plastic is crude oil, gas and coal. The remainings from the oil refineries are the main source for plastic. Only 4% of plastic is produced from the total oil in the world. Plastics low density, strength, due to its flexible shape and low cost makes it widely used. Because of its multipurpose useage and availibility everywhere has a cost for the environment. Plastics, today became the most negative image because of packaging materials with waste. Since 1970 plastic usage has increased fivefold. Until recently resulting from this use of ground waste ended with burial into soil. Plastic waste burial into soil has not solve the plastic waste problem. For this reason, in a way to find a sloution to this matter the most effective way was to seperate plastics from other wastes and to include plstics to receycling process with convinient prices is very important to reduce number of plastic wastes and the best effective way of using resources. Because plastic is the longest surviving element in nature and has the longest fragmentation and disintegration time, its very hard to terminate it. When they are trashed they never get rust, insoluble, biological as incorruptible and it remains intact in the environment for many years. There are some plastics which will last in the environment for 1000 years and causes water and soil pollution. Damages the living and causes there death. And thats why these materials should be stored separately from other materials as much as possible and recycled. Istead of using new resources to produce palstic benefiting from plastic waste recycling products obtained to provide energy-saving rate of 85-90%.

PS (Polystyrene)
main areas of application:
In making plastic cutlery, medicine bottles, meat plates, yogurt and margarine containers It used in the construction. Yogurt containers, office accessories, plastic trays, toys, video cassettes and keys box, and insulation materials including a number of new products can be converted. Market main warehouses, point of sale and supply of industrial packaging waste from the separation operation establishment of separate collection of plastic packaging plant came to our class to, according to their color and production processes separated and baled for shipment to recycling facilities.
Recyclable plastics
Tea and coffee, plastic cups dropped from the water machine, detergent containers, all kinds of plastic bags and packaging products, fruit juice, soft drinks and food containers, soap and detergent containers, such as rice and pulses like packages, Basins, buckets, cans, laundry baskets, plastic chair, table, plastic milk and buttermilk, yogurt containers, plastic bags, plastic mineral water, soft drinks, shampoo, bleach bottles, stretch film.
