Origin of Plastic
The success and dominance of plastics
starting in the early 20th century led to
environmental concerns regarding its
slow decomposition rate after being
discarded as trash. Towards the end of
the century, one approach to this
problem was met with wide efforts
01/02/2017
towards recycling. 4

Polyethylene Terephthalate
Plastic marked with an SPI code of 1 is made with polyethylene

terephthalate, which is also known as PETE or PET. PETE-based
containers sometimes absorb odors and flavors from foods and drinks that
are stored inside them. Items made from this plastic are commonly
recycled. PETE plastic is used to make many common household items
like beverage bottles, medicine jars, peanut butter jars, combs, bean bags,
and rope. Recycled PETE is used to make tote bags, carpet, fiberfill
ma0t1e/0r2/i2a01l7 in winter clothing, and more. 6
High Density Polyethylene
The SPI code of 2 identifies plastic made with high-density polyethylene,

or HDPE. HDPE products are very safe and are not known to leach any
chemicals into foods or drinks. (However, due to the risk of
contamination from previously held substances, please note: it is
NEVER safe to reuse an HDPE bottle as a food or drink container if it
didn’t originally contain food or drink!) HDPE products are commonly
recycled. Items made from this plastic include containers for milk, motor
oil, shampoos and conditioners, soap bottles, detergents, and bleaches.
Many personalized toys are made from this plastic as well. Recycled
HDPE is used to make plastic crates, plastic lumber, fencing, and more.6
01/02/2017
Poly Vinyl Chloride
Plastic labeled with an SPI code of 3 is made with polyvinyl

chloride, or PVC. PVC is not often recycled and can be harmful
if ingested. PVC is used for all kinds of pipes and tiles, but it's
most commonly found in plumbing pipes. This kind of plastic
should not come in contact with food items. Recycled PVC is
used to make flooring, mobile home skirting, and other
industrial-grade

items 7
Low Density Polyethylene
Plastic marked with an SPI code of 4 is made with low-density polyethylene, or LDPE.
LDPE is not commonly recycled, but it is recyclable in certain areas. It tends to be both
durable and flexible. It also is not known to release harmful chemicals into objects in
contact with it, making it a safe choice for food storage. Plastic cling wrap, sandwich
bags, squeezable bottles, and plastic grocery bags all are made from LDPE. Recycled
LDPE is used to make garbage cans, lumber, furniture, and many other
produ01c/0t2s/2s01e7en in and around the house. 9
Polypropylene
Consumers will find the SPI code of 5 on plastic items made

with polypropylene, or PP. PP can be recycled but is not
accepted for recycling as commonly as PETE or HDPE. This
type of plastic is strong and can usually withstand higher
temperatures. Among many other products, it is used to make
plastic diapers, Tupperware, margarine containers, yogurt
boxes, syrup bottles, prescription bottles, and some stadium
cups. Plastic bottle caps often are made from PP as well.
Recycled PP is used to make ice scrapers, rakes, battery
cables, and similar items that need to be durable.
01/02/2017 9
Polystyrene
Plastic marked with an SPI code of 6 is made with

polystyrene, also known as PS and most commonly known as
Styrofoam. PS can be recycled, but not efficiently; recycling it
takes a lot of energy, which means that few places accept it.
Disposable coffee cups, plastic food boxes, plastic cutlery,
packing foam, and packing peanuts are made from PS.
Recycled PS is used to make many different kinds of products,
including
01/02/2017
insulation, license plate frames, and rulers. 10
Others
The SPI code of 7 is used to designate miscellaneous types of

plastic that are not defined by the other six codes.
Polycarbonate and polylactide are included in this category.
These types of plastics are difficult to recycle. Polycarbonate,
or PC, is used in baby bottles, large water bottles (multiple-
gallon capacity), compact discs, and medical storage
containers. Recycled plastics in this category are used to make
plastic

Why Plastic ?
Due to their relatively low cost, ease of manufacture, versatility,
and imperviousness to water, plastics are used in an enormous and
expanding range of products.
They have already displaced many traditional materials, such as

wood, stone, horn and bone, leather, paper, metal, glass, and
ceramic, in most of their former uses.
In fact plastic is viable alternative to cater to the growing needs of

increasing population.

Additives or Modifiers
Plasticizers – to improve flexibility (phthalates)
Heat Stabilizers – prevent thermal degradation (lead
and cadmium)
Compatibilizers – to allow 2 or more materials to
coexist in polymer (i.e. ABS)
Dyes – to change color
Fillers – to improve strength
Light Stabilizers – reduce degradation from light
Antioxidants – to prevent oxidation
Flame Retardants and others……………….
01/02/2017 17
When hot, some plastics
emanate BPA which
causes serious ailments.
Avoid food / drink in plastic packing, containers kept

in open or in vehicle parked under the sun.
Avoid tea in plastic cup, bag.
Avoid disposable plate, spoon

Tears In Eyes -
The Height of
Inhumanity !
Researchers examining elephant dung in
the Mudumalai Tiger Reserve in the
Nilgiris have found plastic, tetra packs and
small cups made of thermocol in the poop,
leading to concerns about enforcement of
rules for visitors to forest areas. During
temple festivals shops spring up on the
edge of forests and sell items in plastic
bags. Snacks as well as offering to the
deities are bagged in plastic, which the
pilgrims toss in the protected forest area
after use.
A few decades ago, temples used to
distribute food in bowls made of dried
banana or betel leaves, which are
biodegradable. Reintroducing this system
in temples, particularly those located inside
core zones, would help in reducing the
release of non-bio degradable waste in the
forest areas

Just say no to

easiest ways to
keep plastic out of
the landfill is to
refuse plastic
straws. Simply
inform your waiter
or waitress that you
don't need one, and
make sure to
specify this when
ordering. Swap
disposable plastic
straws for reusable
glass or plastic
straws.
01/02/2017 130
Ditch plastic wrap
(cling films) and
use these washable,
biodegradable
wraps instead.
01/02/2017 131
Choose non-plastic toys, especially if they’re in that
‘everything in the mouth’ stage.
01/02/2017 132
Avoid disposable diapers by
choosing cloth ones instead.
01/02/2017 133
Swap plastic ice cube trays for
these neat stainless alternatives.
01/02/2017 134
Instead of disposable razors, use an electric razor or
safety razor with replaceable metal blades.

Gum was originally made from tree sap called chicle, a natural rubber,
but polyethylene and polyvinyl acetate began to replace the natural
rubber in most gum. Not only are you chewing on plastic, but you may
also be chewing on toxic plastic — polyvinyl acetate is manufactured
using vinyl acetate, a chemical shown to cause tumors in lab rats.
01/02/2017 137
Buy laundry detergent and dish soap in boxes instead of plastic
bottles. Cardboard can be more easily recycled and made into more
products than plastic.
01/02/2017 138
Many stores, such as Whole Foods, sell bulk food like rice,
pasta, beans, nuts, cereal and granola, and opting to fill a
reusable bag or container with these items will save both
money and unnecessary packaging.

You can buy a variety of
prepared foods in glass
jars instead of plastic
ones. Instead of throwing
these away or recycling
them, reuse the jars to
store food or take them
with you when you’re
buying bulk foods. If you
have plastic containers
leftover from yogurt,
butter or other food, don’t
throw them out. Simply
wash them and use them
to store food.
01/02/2017 140
By simply refilling a reusable bottle, you’ll prevent some of
these plastic bottles from ending up in landfills and oceans
— but don’t stop there. Bring a reusable cup to coffee shops
and ask the barista to fill it up, and keep a mug at your desk
instead of using plastic, paper or Styrofoam cups. You’ll be
preventing a lot of unnecessary waste.
01/02/2017 141
Whether you're picking up takeout or bringing home your restaurant
leftovers, be prepared with your own reusable containers. When you
place your order, ask if you can get the food placed in your own
container. Most restaurants will have no problem with it.
01/02/2017 142
Opt for matches over disposable plastic lighters.
These cheap plastic devices sit in landfills for years
and have even been found in dead birds' stomachs.
01/02/2017 143
Frozen foods offer both convenience and plenty of plastic
packaging — even those eco-friendly packaged items made from
cardboard are actually coated in a thin layer of plastic. While
giving up frozen food can be difficult, there are benefits besides
the obvious environmental ones: You'll be eating fewer processed
foods and avoiding the chemicals in their plastic packaging.
