We have been researching which plastics we can recycle and which plastics we can't recycle. Most plastics that are labelled with numbers between 1 and 7 can be recycled but not all of them are recycled in New Zealand. Plastics with code 1 and 2 are used to make all the common items like milk containers, shampoos, detergents, drink bottles and medicine bottles. They can be put in the recycle bins for the council pick up. Glad wrap and plastic bags are not able to be recycled and they cause problems at the recycle centre if they get stuck in the machinery. We found that plastic containers that are used in the bathroom and kitchen can be recycled. We presented our information at assembly.
Hi boys and girls,
ReplyDeleteGood job that you are thinking of the environment and let everybody know about recycling.
In Holland we are also recycling plastics. Together we can work for a good environment.
Well done!!!
