CarbonLite: Inside the World's Largest Plastic Bottle Recycling Plant | SoCal Connected | KCET

Is the plastic fume toxic?

Have a good day productions ideas 😊

Derek is a cutie. ❤

Btw dislike for false information spread, a 100% recycble bottle is greenwash propaganda, there's no such thing.

We need to find that "someone" and make him stop! EZ PEEZE

I used to love buying water bottles but I saw some people spiting in them and some even use it as something to throw up 🤮 and I can’t stand it anymore

What a load of (s)crap! Closed loop! LOL. Stop and think. Bottle to bottle. What happens when they keep taking in more and more plastic? Ultimately they just keep producing more garbage! They're doing a great job there. But they're just fighting a losing battle by just dealing with a non stop problem. Think of the cost, energy and manpower it takes to begin to recycle this garbage there! Plus, 80% goes to China. Far more than it's worth!! It's still not recycled!! It's prepped for shipping to China or 3rd world nations. More $$$! This type of recycling around the world is a farce and corporations are looking at the $$$$ they're making and shrugging their shoulders at the problem they're creating and saying "Who cares! We're not responsible!" Look here's how to fix it.

STOP making cans and plastic containers!! Make glass containers and biodegradable paper products. IF people want to recycle them, all well and good. If not go to the landfill. It's all natural and will break down. Man! We humans are so stubborn and stupid!

Carbonite ind. is permanently closed in Riverside, chapter 11,. Bankruptcy

No market,no recycling.just New York has enough to flood the market.there is no market for contaminated plastic . sorry to break the truth.burn it at this point.

Great episode. Very informative!!

We should go back to glass & cardboard! Glass can be sterilized & cardboard breaks down.

Very interesting, worth noting that many plastics can't be recycled however sophisticated the facility. Ok my question re plastic bottles containers etc, why aren't they washed and reused? That's surely a much much easier and less problematic system. I'd make say 3-4 bottle sizes that all drink manufacturers have to use nation-wide, make a really good quality product initially and then just wash and reuse. I have soup containers I use for water pots and they have been going for years and years + are still absolutely fine and useable.

The world is moving into digitalizing recycling, it feels amazing to earn through investing in recycling businesses and initiative.

Plastic bottles do not get recycled it’s a government con

Recycling is a sham in the uk. Once a coloured bottle is mixed with clear it goes to land site .

Great video. Gotta know though. What happens to the labels? Are they just thrown away or sent to another facility for recycling?

Thats lie all states do it

i dont think there is any bottle that is actually a 100% recycle since there has to be virgin plastic added to recycled plastic materials to make it viable.

Sup

just finished watching a video of an middle eastern small business that turns plastic bottles into light weight pvc

China just dumps it in the ocean, we need many more plants.

- Å fan! 👍

What happens to the bottle labels , cant it be recycled. Its a huge waste

😇

You can't recycle plastic bottles forever. Polymers break down with each heat cycle, downgrading the material quality.

That could be a way for people to make money. If they can't work like me. I walk and get cans. People could pick up bottles for the refund.

Why this vid doesn’t have millions of likes 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

You are misleading people. This plastic cannot be used " forever" since everytime it is recycled itvlose a high % of its contains. Another data did not mention is the % of recycled material obtained each recycled time.

WHY NOT EVERY STATE & ALL NATIONS ?

ONLY 20 % ?

I'm all about helping recycle anything that can, but where I live, they don't collect. And when you take the time to take anything to them, other than steel, they just toss it right into the landfill because nobody wants it anywhere near here, unless they are making huge profit from it. we really have created a huge mess of the world that very few even want to realize.

It would be nice if every state had machines that pay us for our bottles.

In 2022 the recycling system for bottles is broken because people cannot find a place to recycle the government needs to step up and fix the problem

How much energy is being used to recycle these? I am 100% for recycling, but it seems like it is still very wasteful. There has to be a better way. I wish the bottles I used could be returned directly to the manufacturer of the product for them to be sanitized and reused.

hello to the family me these Edmond I live in cameroon I would like to install this machine in cameroon it is possible to partner with you please how to contact you

I don’t understand why they sterilize the plastic before melting it, I would think the melting process would kill all bacteria and viruses.

Nobody likes recycled bullshit ! Only big companies& corporations. If you recycled something long enough the quality of the product degrades overtime , thus leaving you with a shitty product that you still have to pay the same price for. Meaning the big guys on top waste less and make just as much or more. Thats how corporations make money ! I want new plastic ! Good quality! Durable! Even if I have to pay the extra buck I will aslong as the product is worth it. Give me what I paid for !! don't give me some sublime b.s product that's made out of recycled garbage that breaks under a year .

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️🥳

Bankrupt

yeah but the trash can is 4" closer than the recycling can so I'm gonna be a lazy c*nt and throw it in the trash can. I just don't have 0.4s to spare to crush a bottle and take the extra 1 step to the recycling can. I'm too busy, my time is too valuable

Not just bottles being thrown out but alot of other single use plastics, alot!

今から２０数年前に私の家のベランダからならず者が侵入し私のガンの薬にポイズンを混入させた時点でガンが治る事を知っていたのに何故将軍様の生命を助けなかったのか不思議です。。

i like the idea of shredding all plastics together, then mixing with sand and concrete to make bricks for homeless housing

though it still does not show how and where they are removing the bottle tops. most of them are colored and are of course made of a different material. or is that a secret?
