Recycling Empty Plastic Bottles

Ever wonder what happens to your empty plastic bottles after you put them in the recycling bin? Watch this cool video to see how empty bottles are turned into other products. The guy in this video says his recycling factory is hungry for empty bottles, so we all need to recycle more and promote recycling! Plus, in case you haven't heard, it takes much less energy to make products from recycled material rather than using virgin materials.

Please edit this video and include the valuable conversation that we are missing and take out the terrible music you include. The video itself is great and has a lot of added value, but most people will loose interest rapidly if you do not fix the audio.

Thanks, D.

@SOLURSO Try watching it on a different computer. One of your speakers might not be working properly. Please let us know if this works!

Yes please edit out the music. I too really wanted to here the conversation but the music was a huge distraction

Where I live, we pay a deposit on plastic bottles and aluminum cans so if you want your money back you have to recycle. I am not sure if that is how it is every where.

@jhubertful Bottled water is a nessecity in many countries where clean water is not available, and many local water supplies even in the USA and Canada are foul tasting, and full of chlorine.

@SOLURSO Don't be so fussy. This video is very informative, and includes lots of useful dialog. The noise is just authentic background sounds. Get over it.

recycling is great and all. but in this case, all this energy use (both the recycling process and the original bottle manufacture process) could be done away with if we stopped buying and contributing to the manufactured demand for bottled water. in most developed countries, bottled water is a widely unnecessary product. tap water does just fine, and can be filtered at home for taste.

Awesome! we could also turn that plastic back into oil!

It is really a wonderful thing for us to recycle.
