Mandy asks…
Why do some recycling centers ask you to remove the caps off the plastic bottles and others do not ?
The Expert answers:
The ones that leave the cap on probably are just burnt in an incinerator. Having generally the same product (plastic) makes it more efficient. People often throw all kinds of crap in recycling collection sites. The product needs to be really clean for it to be worth the effort to recycle it into new, quality materials. Not enough people care enough to recycle correctly so it all can be reused.
