Australia used to send its collected plastics to China and about a year ago China rejected them as they were too contaminated to purchase, either not clean or properly separated.
I have watched with interest products made from recycled plastic and see they are now making some useful products, decking, flower pots etc. They are certainly not using using the full strength potential of these plastics which I assume is because the exact plastic is not identified and even if it was it would not have the same strength as virgin plastics.
Is it possible to add an identifier to the virgin plastic beads at molding time, which could be easily identified at recycling time.
