  1. 1. Plastic is not recycled as much as metals are recycled because metal has a different density and different color. Plastic is not recycled easy because plastic has a over lapping density and that plastic has many different colors.

    2. One benefit of recycling plastic is that it cost less to recycle and it's not tied to oil. Another benefit is that it saves 80% to 90% of energy.

  2. 1. the plastics are not as easy to depose as it is for the metal
    2.saving money and making the world a better place

  3. 1. One reason plastic isn't recycled as much as metals is because, less then 10% of plastic can be recovered in like metal witch is over 90%, another reason is because, they are harder to break down they are Dencer and more narro, Any plastic can be any color, and identical and magnetical property's
    2. We can re use items for many other things, and we would have many more tools for extracting metals and plastics

    1. Metals are gonn be recover more than plstic and there easier to recycle
    2.makes more money and conserve energy

  5. 1. It's difficult to sort the plastic and metals are easier to break down and reuse.
    2. The cost of it is cheaper because we're not paying for oil and we're not risk other people's health by making them look through our garbage.

  6. 1. Most people think that plastic are throwaway materials not a recyclable one and also metal is very easy to recycle.
    2. Two benefits of recycling plastic is that it's better for the environment and it contains material that oil does.

  7. Most people see plastics as a throw away item and cannot be used again
    Metals are seen as more durable
    When you recycle you have a chance of seeing your items reincarnated into something else
    When you recycle you are reducing pollution and landfills

  8. 1. Because plastics are bad for the envirenment. Also plastic can only be used a few times.
    2. Save the envirenment and resue of objects instead of getting rid off them

  9. 1)Plastics are not recycled as much as metals because they are much easier to recycle than metal products and you can identify the metals from each other based on color, what kind of metal they are and their size.

    2)Two benefits of recycling plastics are that they can be reusable to package any beverage and it convert into energy using natural resources.

  10. 1. There are fewer metal colors and they have similar densities and plastics can be any color and have over lapping densities.
    2. Recycling plastic will allow us to use 90% to 80% less energy recycling plastic and it will also lower the cost of oil.

  11. 1. One reason why i think plastic is much more recycled then metal because all of the Technics of the plastic did not work. another reason why they dont recycle plastic because they cost too much.
    2. One benefit is that it doesn't cost that much of oil. another benefit is that they get to make any type of plastic.

  12. 1) Its easier to recycle metal because they have a easy color and it's hard to recycle plastics cause it has a lot of different substances in it.

    2) 1. We don't have to keep it into the ground
    2. Less landfills around the planet

  13. 1. Its more complicated then metal because its color most of the time and people cant tell what type of plastic it is
    2. Two benefits are more plastic objects and has an enormous LOWER energy

    ReplyDelete
  14. 1. a lot of metals that we use are mixtures called alloys, and it can be difficult to sort different metals ready for recycling.
    2. Benefits you can get by recycling plastic is saving money and energy

  15. 1.)One reason is because car parts are given in and re used where plastic is just thrown away. A second reason is because people tend to care about metal more then plastics. Therefore we recycle more metal. Metal is also more expensive.

    2.) One benefit is that our plants can make any plastic we feed them Another benefit is that if helps our enviornment and keeps it cleaner.

  16. 1. One reason is that metals can be recycled for better uses and plastics are just turned to waste. Another reason is that metal is easy to recycle and plastic is one of the biggest problem today.
    2. 2 benefits for recycling is one you can help save the enviroment another on it can be reduse, reused and recycle

  17. 1.one reason for why plastics are not recycked as much as metal arr is because when plastic is recovered , less than 10 % of plastic could be reused but 90% of metal could be restored and reused. Another reason for why plastics is not recycled as much as metal is because metal is much easier to recycle. Metal density are different, they are different color and different electrical magnetic property's. So it's much easier for human or machines to separate them from one another. But plastic has overlapping density over a narrow range , they have either identical or very similar electrical magnetic property's and the plastics would be any color so you would not really know.
    2. One benefit of recycling plastic is it is more valuable than metal.

  18. 1. Plastics are recycled less due to that they're made differently
    2. One benifit would be its good for the environment and the other is that it's easily used again

  19. 1) Metals are easy to recycle and plastics usually are incinerated.
    2) Energy would be saved and people can make more sustainable products.

    2. That it cost less then metal and it does tie with oil so there's no environmental problems when recycling plastics.

  21. 1. Because plastic has overlapping densities which makes it harder. Another reason is that some plastic contains hadarzous materials that cant just be recycled that easy
    2.one benefit is that it can save trees. Another is that recycling can save 19 million barrels of oil.

  22. 1.Metal conserves better energy and it also increases gas commissions.

    2.Recycling plastic is a good thing because it creates natural resources and allows them to be reused again

  23. 1. Metals are a easy material to recycle to be reused and make something with it and plastics are all around the and its hard to seperate if they're different colors.
    2. Plastics are easy to sort using a machine and all the old stuff thrown away can be used again.

  24. 1. One reason is because there are metals can be fixed and reused but plastics are rare to try and reuse. Another reason is because not all plastics can be recycled.
    2. Two benefits of recycling plastics are there's less pollution to try and make it. Another benefit there's a higher amount.

  25. The two reasons why plastic is not recycle as often as metal is because will take for ever to go away and some reuse plastic lot people dont reuse metal

    Its also a sign that the animals will be safe because there going any were else but to the sanitation so our animals are safe and the turn platic to other things we us today

  26. 1.not as viable, plastic is plentifle
    2.Less plastic use,saving energy
