Starting a job as inspector of plastic sorting plants tomorrow, they gave me some documentation on the 7 categories of plastic, but it was kinda vague. This video helped a lot, thanks!
As someone who works in recycling and is involved in a family run business in UK, we also sell to Europe, PP is our number 1 product and most sought after, 2nd would HDPE and the rest is a mixture. We actually rarely do PET. By the way, each one of these types has its own grades, for example there are PP plastics that you wouldn't mix together as its harder to sell because of the difference in MFI. Just some insight for you.

I don't even work in anything recycling or relevant to this video but just having the info allows me to be aware of what kinds of plastics are "bad" (meaning harder to recycle and barely even recycles) and which kinds are good and also that the idea of recycling plastics is to use the same plastic for as many things as you can, presumably the highly recyclable ones, so that it can all flow consistently and the recycling process can function optimally.

Such a great video. Easy to follow and easy to understand. I work in recyceling, and this made it so much more interesting to learn more about plastic. Thank you
I'm wondering ....I have a front loader washer ..there is an exterior( hard ridged plastic) and inner tub (stainless steel).. I trying to create a seal between these two plastic tubs ...(gasket) is no longer manufactured. ...any idea as to what plastic type such a tub is ? Best guess ?
well done...It would be interesting to hear you speak on how individual properties of these plastics are affected when combined for a prodution . For example LDPE & HDPE are used in production of plastic bags..which other plastics can be combined and cannot combined with technical reasons 😁

What's the reason they wouldn't except my plastic bottle s from rubbing alcohol & hydrogen peroxide both are #2. HDPE? I'm in the san diego ca. Area if you possibly know of a place. Thank you.
The most common type of bottle cap is the plastic cap. Plastic bottle caps are made of polyethylene terephthalate. It is a thermoplastic polymer resin that is a part of the polyester family. This kind of plastic is widely used in beverage and food containers. Depending on the processing method, this material can appear transparent, opaque or white. This type of plastic is usually has the PET abbreviation. It is a different plastic than what the bottle itself is made of. Metal bottle caps are made of steel.
I have bought a water bottle anf it is PP .is it reusable or use and throw?when exposed to sunlight does it change any of its chemical properties?what if i put hotwatwer into it? Pls reply
The only way to effectively sort mixed plastics is to grind them all up together and then separate them by density striation in a controlled density bath. Much more efficient that paying people to pick through the garbage. Grind it all up first. Remove one group at a time by gradually increasing the density of your liquid bath medium. You can also apply centrifugal separation as needed. ..
This video was awesome thank you very much. I am curious though, if a person were to collect the correctly sorted plastics (for example 100 type #1 water bottles) is there a market for buyers of these? Outside of municipalities offering around 5 cents per bottle. Im curious if a person does the hard work of sorting plastics based on their number will anyone pay for that?
I'm trying to pursue a career in plastic recycling. Can someone recommend a university to do my master's in Plastic recycling? I have been trying for days. But none provide specifically plastic recycling.
They can be any type of material. Depends on the application. Some are your basic polymers with additives or are manufactured a specific way to have better properties suited for the application. We make "medical grade" high impact polystyrene shells for first response pregnancy tests at my place of employment. Common material, but what makes it medical grade are the manufacturing procedures.
Only way to recycle PS is to distill it into naphtha. It should become naphtha right of the bat if distilled properly considering the fact that PS has more hydrogen and carbon than any other polymer.
Hi everyone. Interested in plastic recycling? And the REAL reason plastic is rarely recycled. Check out this video :) ua-cam.com/video/HK2-soav-k8/v-deo.html
So... why do most PET bottles come with HDPE caps that each leaves a ring that is slightly harder/tedious to remove? Now even some yogurt drinks/fruit drinks are packaged with the mouth part made up of HDPE. I had to use a saw or heated metal to break it apart before recycling.
Good question. In an ideal world they should be the same and not sure why they are not. However, you should not need to separate the cap and bottle. This is because HDPE and PET is usually separated in a sink-float tank. PET is less dense then HDPE so the separation process is fairly easy once the entire bottle is grinded down.
anyone know a strong ridged plastic that i can get in about 3/8 thick and attach with 2 screws on 1 end and hold the weight of my hand and mouse and mousepad like a table top connected to 8020 extruded aluminum im thinking about using aluminum plate but i prefer working with a plastic if i can get similar results????? im building a gaming chair with flight simulator cockpit and the keyboard and mouse pad must be very ridged i really dont want to cut aluminum but it may be the only option

Hi Sir,
Do you sell HDPE in India as well?
Hello sir can we talk?
Good remark. Thanks
As a plastic composite R&D company we found this video greatly informative. Thanks. Our world is all about polymers! For sure!
This video deserves much, much, more traffic. This was a very informational video and I've learned a lot in such a short video. Thanks a lot!

Thank you for the insightful explanation
was very helpfull, thanks.
Great 👍
Great overview.
Thank you this video was informative
This was a good presentation. I really like the break down of the plastic types, and especially the examples of each plastic type he showed.
Where do cellophane and XLPE (cross linked polyethylene) fit in?
Thankyou this useful for my exam revision
Thanks dude 😁
what exam you giving bro
Dt GCSE student here, your video was very informing and helpfull with my understanding of plastics, will be saving for future use ^^
very helpful👍
Thank you. We have understood thorouly.
Very interesting. I have been working in a facility with injection molding. Glad to know how it’s made.
This was very helpful for my class! Thank you so so so much!
Quality content. 🥹
Hey! Thanks for this, it'll be usefull for my Product Design class
Great job brother... Well explained.... 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
a very useful video love it thanks helps a lot with my research
I'm wondering ....I have a front loader washer ..there is an exterior( hard ridged plastic) and inner tub (stainless steel).. I trying to create a seal between these two plastic tubs ...(gasket) is no longer manufactured. ...any idea as to what plastic type such a tub is ? Best guess ?
What type of plastic that contains silicon dioxide?
What do you think about the micro plastics people consume and what that means for human health?
hmm.. i would like to see a video on solvents used to recycle each type of plastic
well done...It would be interesting to hear you speak on how individual properties of these plastics are affected when combined for a prodution . For example LDPE & HDPE are used in production of plastic bags..which other plastics can be combined and cannot combined with technical reasons 😁
Interesting video. I am trying to get more knowledgeable on plastics since I started working in a company that uses a lot of injection molded parts.
That was a very clear and informative explanation. Thanks!

Hi, thank you for your nformation. Which kind of university degree study these product? Engineer or chemistry or else?
And what about ABS plastic? Pro and cons? Use?
this video is extremely helpful and informative . Thank you so much
Where does ABS fall in the classification? Would it be “other”?
Amazing information sir😍😍
Loved Your Presentation Bro. Highly Recommend it. Thank You !!
Thank you!
Thank you very much for this clarity on different types of plastics. My question is about shower puffs. I want to know what type of plastic they are?
Do you have a video about PBAT plastic ?
very informative, thank you.
Perfect explanation sir
What's the reason they wouldn't except my plastic bottle s from rubbing alcohol & hydrogen peroxide both are #2. HDPE? I'm in the san diego ca. Area if you possibly know of a place. Thank you.
Great dissertation! Thanks.
Great stuff Thanks
Well explained! Thank you. I would definately use it for my classes if you are ok with it.
Yes please do! - Tristan
Hello brother I am from Bangladesh , I learned a lot from you . ! Want to work with you further to explore more !😊🙋♂️
Which plastic is the screw on tops of soda bottles?

That guy is wrong, it's mostly either PP or HDPE.
#loveit! soo informative. Keep doing what ur doing zaddy
we are glad you enjoyed this video!

Man, you’re amazing how you explain is great keep going from turkey 🇹🇷
Thank you for informing people in this topic
I know polystyrene sort of melts in acetone. What's left is a goo.
That goo happens to act practically like napalm.
a great explanation , thnx.
Thank you for you detail example pictures and explations....
Woow great information 😘
love ur content man!
What about ABS and samica.?
This was beautiful. Thanks
Thank you very much

Thanks for your video, very good !
what about abs?
Can you list carbon composite as one of plastic ? Some companies used as polupropylene
Great video! Thanks!
Thank you!
Clear, thanks good job
What about PHA?

Wht abt Tetra Pak
Nice explanation
Can't we bleach plastic and turn it into transparent plastic seeds
What about a Delrin Plastic which was used and maybe still used in making plastic sprinklers?
Great 🎉
Pretty vague, considering you said number 7 plastics are a larger group; which you spent no time on.
Thanks for the video ❤️👍🇺🇲🇨🇦
cool thanks

Medical intravenous fluid lines are made of what type of plastic?
I can tell you that the connectors and adapters are made from polycarbonate, which have BPA in them! BE AFRAID!!!!!!!!
Thanks for your help
PP is extremely strong...

Seriously? PET is way denser than HDPE.

One type of pastic wasn't mentioned.....the trust of humans.
What category is Plastisol in?
Plastisol is number 3 plastic (PVC). See more info here:
latem.com/blog/what-exactly-is-plastisol.htm
Does anybody know which kind of plastic is used to make the large animal carriers?
It probably varies. Most likely though it will be #5 or PP. You should be able to check on the bottom
anyone know a strong ridged plastic that i can get in about 3/8 thick and attach with 2 screws on 1 end and hold the weight of my hand and mouse and mousepad like a table top connected to 8020 extruded aluminum im thinking about using aluminum plate but i prefer working with a plastic if i can get similar results????? im building a gaming chair with flight simulator cockpit and the keyboard and mouse pad must be very ridged i really dont want to cut aluminum but it may be the only option
I feel like there's way more.
