[speaker001:] Recycling is big business these days, isn't it?
[speaker002:] Yes, it's definitely a growing business.
[speaker001:] What do you recycle in your plant?
[speaker002:] Mainly plastics. Plastics aren 't bio degradable they don 't break down easily in the environment so they shouldn't be thrown away.
[speaker001:] How is plastic recycled, then?
[speaker002:] Well, there are basically two methods. One is to break down the chemicals in the plastic into smaller chemical particles. These can then be used in the production of new chemicals.
[speaker001:] Is that the method you use here?
[speaker002:] No, we don't do that here. We recycle polyethylene and we make it into other products.
[speaker001:] How do you do that?
[speaker002:] By melting it down and then reforming it. Our main products are bin liners for kitchen bins and carrier bags for supermarkets.
