Now it is very fashionable to say that plastic is not environmentally friendly, unlike paper and glass. But many people forget how many trees need to be cut down to produce at least one roll of paper, and what harm pulp and paper mills cause to nature - that's where the real "chemistry" is: compounds of sulfuric acid, chlorine, optical brighteners.
After all, 13 liters of pure fresh water are spent on the production of one sheet of A3 format. Paper production enterprises cause damage to nature hundreds of times.
Glass consists, in general, of harmless components, but its production leaves a strong carbon footprint, and its decomposition period in nature is tens of thousands of years, whereas plastic is hundreds of times shorter.
However, plastic can be recycled a second or even a third time and again make some kind of product out of it that will still serve people!
For example, most often they are made of recycled plastic:
- furniture;
- clothes and shoes;
- frames and sunglasses;
- spare parts for bicycles and cars;
- office supplies;
- containers, packages and containers for non-food products.
Our company "Aleko Machinery" contributes to the protection of the environment. Up to 40% of the equipment produced at our enterprise is equipment for recycling. The equipment supplied and installed by us prevents debris from entering the world ocean by more than 20%
