    A recent survey revealed that a majority of Americans are confused about what types of plastic can be recycled, which has led to a lack of trust that plastic is actually getting recycled.

  • 2

    Joining us today with some do's and don'ts with your recycling is Jeremy Walters, sustainability Ambassador for Republic Services.

  • 3

    Welcome Jeremy, so what is the state of plastic recycling in the U.S today?

  • 4

    Hey, thanks for having me, you know, recycled plastic, there's never been a stronger demand for these materials, and major brands are setting ambitious targets for recycled content.

  • 5

    And some states are actually even adopting minimum content standards for these manufacturers in terms of how much recycled plant plastic⁽¹⁾ they should have in the packaging that they produce.

  • 6

    So which plastics should never be placed in a recycling container?

  • 7

    So there are some very problematic plastics that we see, coming through the recycling center, and most commonly grocery bags and other flexible plastics.

  • 8

    These actually have a tendency to wrap and tangle around the sorting equipment, here at the recycling center, so they should never be placed in your curbside recycling bin.

  • 9

    Jeremy, which plastics are good to recycle, and how should they be prepared for recycling?

  • 10

    So there are a number of good plastics for recycling, and what we're after are the hard plastic, think bottles jugs and tubs.

  • 11

    Specifically labeled with a number 1 2 and in some instances number 5⁽²⁾. But you do need to rinse these out.

  • 12

    Whether it's a plastic bottle, a metal can, a glass bottle, they do need to be rinsed gently, before you throw them in the bin.

  • 13

    So a little bit of water goes a long way, squirt it in here, swirl it around, tap it dry, put the cap back on, and then throw it in the recycling bin.

  • 14

    And the reason that we ask you to do that, is that paper and cardboard is very fragile, in fact it's soiled with food liquid we have to throw it away.

    最近的一项调查显示,大多数美国人对哪些类型的塑料可以回收感到困惑,这导致人们对塑料实际上正在回收缺乏信任。

  • 2

    今天加入我们的是美国共和服务公司可持续发展大使杰里米·沃尔特斯,他介绍了回收利用的一些注意事项。

  • 3

    欢迎杰里米,美国现今的塑料回收情况如何?

  • 4

    嘿,谢谢你邀请我,你知道,回收塑料,对这些材料的需求从未如此强烈,各大品牌都为回收材料设定了宏大的目标。

  • 5

    一些州甚至对这些制造商采取了最低含量标准,即他们生产的包装中应该有多少回收的植物塑料。

  • 6

    那么哪些塑料永远不应该放进回收容器里呢?

  • 7

    所以我们看到一些非常有问题的塑料,来自回收中心,最常见的是购物袋和其他柔性塑料。

  • 8

    在回收中心,这些垃圾很容易缠绕在分类设备周围,所以它们不应该放在路边的回收箱里。

  • 9

    杰里米,哪些塑料适合回收,他们应该如何准备回收?

  • 10

    所以有很多好的塑料可以回收,我们想要的是硬塑料,比如瓶、罐和桶盆等。

  • 11

    具体标有数字1、2,有时还标有数字5。但你确实需要冲洗掉这些(瓶瓶罐罐中的残留)。

  • 12

    无论是塑料瓶、金属罐还是玻璃瓶,在扔进垃圾桶之前,都需要轻轻冲洗。

  • 13

    所以(消耗)一点点水很有作用,把它喷到这里,旋转一下,拍干,盖上盖子,然后扔进回收箱。

  • 14

    我们要求你这样做的原因是,(只收塑料不收纸板的原因)纸和纸板是非常脆弱的,事实上,它被食物液体弄脏了,我们必须扔掉。
