How Plastic Bottles Are Recycled Into Polyester

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

The rather complex process of converting used plastic bottles into useful polyester for the clothing industry. If it wasn't for the cheap labour, is it still a profitable business?...

    Poly clothes can and does get recycled back into plastic, it just costs more and a lot more weight so they probably chose to just recycle plastics or bottles instead, you can carry 4 trucks worth of plastic bottles that consume less gas that will create more product than 4 trucks of polyester clothes that will consume way more gas and space.

    you probably don't want that as they will make new plastic to supply their need and than it comes back all over again. Discarded clothes doesn't get recycled as often because it's less material(and way more weight) than just pure plastic bottles, so some places use the clothes for other recycling areas, rags, and such other things, but clothes does get recycled back into plastics, just not as cost effective as just making new or getting bottles.

    Actually more effort and energy would be required to make the clothes without the bottles. Recycling just reincorporates the source material back into the chain. Without the bottles, polyester would still need to be made from coal, petroleum, water and air. So this is a good thing because the source materials are serving a dual or triple purpose: packaging and clothing, then, the same fabric can be recycled into different garments.

They don't have all the safety and regulations, benefit packages we enjoy in America. They either work under cruel conditions or be replaced. So yes they are hard workers. All so your big brand companies can get it cheaper and sell it to us for more. It's a sad world we live in which the rich most certainly oppress the poor.

    No, but we should migrate away from putting plastics in the ecosystem whenever possible. Why do drinks need to be delivered in plastic bottles? Why is packaging made from plastic instead of paper? Why are so many clothes made from plastic instead of cotton, wool or linens? It's because it's cheaper for companies this way. Make the companies shoulder the environmental costs, and they'll switch to renewable sources quickly.

    I doubt this is profitable. Advertisers have a weird way of making themselves look like they are doing "good", when in fact, they are only lessening the "blow" of something evil or bad. Sure, we can make clothes out of plastic bottles: so there is less trash on the ground. Wouldn't it be better to not have the trash on the ground or plastic bottles to begin with? Replace plastic bottle with disease. Oh, lots of people have diseases, but our company is going to take the disease and make some other disease that is wearable for a little bit... It is sort of like the idea of taking a pill for something and the side effects end up causing lots of problems also. The people that make this plastic shirt/fabric will probably get cancer from the fumes and arthritis from hauling the shred all around. Some might get burnt from the caustic soda and some coal miners that mine the coal to fuel the factory will get black lung cancer/disease. And, the shirts are eventually going to get stained up, thrown away, or sit in a warehouse somewhere. Who knows? Maybe the ship transporting all the newly made shirts will get a leak and all the shirts will end up in the ocean as pollution. If the shirts weren't made, we wouldn't have that risk. No plastic bottles: no problem with needing to recycle bottles. Also, I will put it this way, which is how I make many of my decisions: Is the risk of cancer, pollution, annoyance of factory design, hiring of workers, handling labor, advertising, insurance risk, transportation and other logistic management, and all of the other work involved with making this shirt worth the reward of the finished product of the shirt? Will lots of customers love this shirt and feel that all of the work and hassle was worth it?
