         <title>The widespread use of plastics demands proper end of life management. Plastics make up almost 13 percent of the municipal solid waste stream, a dramatic increase from 1960, when plastics were less than one percent of the waste stream. &amp;nbsp;1. &amp;nbsp;PET - Polyethylene Terephthalate 2. HDPE - High-density Polyethylene 3. LDPE - Low-density Polyethylene 4. Vinyl - Poly Vinyl Chloride 5. PP - Polypropylene 6. PS - Polystyrene 7. Other - Mixed Plastics. Choose one of the above plastics and answer the following questions in complete sentences as well as add a picture of your plastic: 1. How is it made? 2. Is it a Thermoset, or a Thermoplastic? 3.What is it used for? 4. Is it recyclable? What happens to it when it is no longer in use? &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;5. How is it harming the Earth? 6. Include the recyclable symbol if available.</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>1: traditionally, there are 3 process to produce polypropylene. First there's the hydrocarbon  slurry, then solid slurry, then the gas phase.</p><p>2: It is a thermoplastic which means it becomes pliable or mold-able above a specific temperature and solidfies upon cooling  </p><p>3: Usually used for packaging, labeling, and reusable containers.</p><p>4: Polypropylene is recyclable - The symbol is the number 5 as the resin identification code.</p><p>5: (PP) - Polypropylene is generally considered safe and can be recycled up to 50 times </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p><b>Q: What is HDPE?</b>  A: a polyethylene thermoplastic made from petroleum.</p><p>1.<b>Q: How is HDPE made?  </b>A: by applying intense heat to petroleum. A process known as "cracking" to produce ethylene gas. Under controlled conditions these gas molecules link together to form long chains.</p><p>2. <b>Q: Is HDPE thermoses or a Thermoplastic?</b> A:Thermoplastics- substances that becomes plastic on heating and hard on cooling. </p><p>3. <b>Q: What is HDPE used for?</b> A: commonly used in the production of plastic bottles, milk containers, laundry detergent bottles, shampoo bottles, ect.. </p><p>4a. <b>Q:Is HDPE recyclable?</b>  A:  yes, when HDPE is recycled it can be made into pipping, plastic lumber, rope, trash cans/ recycling bins.</p><p>4b. <b>Q: What happens when it is no longer in use?</b> A: if the plastic not recycled it is usually thrown away, ending up in landfills, the Ocean, etc..&nbsp;</p><p>5.<b>Q: How is HDPE harming the Earth? </b> A: Like most plastic  it does not break down.</p><p>6. <b>Q: What is the recyclable symbol?</b></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>1. Polyethylene Terephthalate is made through polycondensation of PTA with ethylene glycol (EG).&nbsp;</p><p>2. It is Thermoplastic, because its is liquid when heated and hardens when cooled.</p><p>3. Is used&nbsp;in synthetic fibers; beverage, food and other liquid containers.</p><p>4. It's recyclable, and it haves the number 1 as its recycling symbol. </p><p>5.  It does not contain BPA which has been shown to be harmful to humans. It can be recyclced into many new product.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Poly Vinyl Chloride is made by the electrolysis of salt water that produce chlorine which then is combined with ethylene that has been obtained from oil. A poly Vinyl is Thermoplastic. It is used to make pipes, pipe fittings, pipe conduits, vinyl flooring, and vinyl siding. PVC is recyclable.  If it is not used anymore, we won't have mixed plastic materials anymore. PVC is harmful to the planet.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p><span>Polyvinyl Chloride- (Vinyl)</span></p><ol><li><p>The basic materials for PVC come from salt and oil. Chlorine is made by the electrolysis of sodium chloride, salt. The electrolysis of salt water produces chlorine. The chlorine is then combined with ethylene that has been obtained from oil. The resulting element is ethylene dichloride, which is changed at very high temperatures to vinyl chloride monomer. These monomer molecules are polymerized forming polyvinyl chloride resin. </p></li><li><p>It is a thermoplastic because it is reversible, and can be reheated and formed again.</p></li><li><p>PVC, commonly known as vinyl, is one of the most widely and commonly used plastics which is a part of our everyday lives.  The most common use is to make PVC pipes which  bring water into our homes and its also used for vinyl windows, electrical conduit, insulation for records, electrical wiring, flooring, vinyl fences, etc. PVC pipe accounts for more than 70% of new buried water pipes being installed in the United States and Canada.</p></li><li><p>PVC is recyclable, and the most common method for this today is mechanical recycling a process that grinds the material into a powder base for new plastic products. The benefit of recycling PVC is that new products can achieve equal quality to originals, while many other types of plastics may only be downcycled into lower-quality products.  The majority of PVC is thrown away after the consumer is done as opposed to recycling it and it is the least recycled plastic .</p></li><li><p>Chemical additives and heavy metal content have made PVC to be a very polluting form of plastic, both when burned and when buried in landfills. The material has been found to leak chlorine, carcinogens and other toxic chemicals into the soil and air over time within landfill or incineration disposals.</p></li><li><p>(Pictured above)</p></li></ol>]]></description>
