Chapter 2, Problem 2.8Q
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The type of plastics should be identified for the container which is marked with number 5.
Concept introduction:
The recycling communities grew significantly under 1990 as they were working like the drop off stations for plastics. Soon it became significant in waste management and it has been noticed that around 2.12 million tons of plastic were recycled by this in 2009. The curbside recycling is helping in reclamation of plastics.
