Over the last century, humans have produced a great amount of plastic goods due to its cheap production and versatile nature. Unfortunately, when these products are cast aside, they are polluting are atmosphere and land.\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Research shows that 13 billion plastic bottles are used each year in the UK \u2014 with only 7.5 billion currently being recycled. But, what exactly can we do personally, to help reduce plastic pollution? Read our guide below which aims look at some of the best ways our plastic can be recycled.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Clothing<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Perhaps unsurprisingly, we can buy items of clothing that were once part of a plastic bottle we\u2019d have drank from. With the likes of polyester, nylon and other synthetic fibres forms of plastic, companies can use recycled plastic to help create their new garments. Did you know that it only takes approximately 10 bottles to create enough plastic fibre for a new t-shirt? As well as this, the insulation in a ski jacket can be created by just 14 recycled bottles.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Decking<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The UK is a nation of outdoor lovers \u2014 even if we don\u2019t always get the weather that\u2019ll help us best use our outdoor space! Studies have found that the average Brit spends over two hours a week in their garden space. Many take pride in their outdoor area and love to entertain guests throughout the year. To do so, they need a space that is suitable, and decking has seen a huge increase in popularity. Since first being released in 1990, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arbordeck.co.uk\/trex-composite-decking\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">composite decking boards<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> have grown in popularity as they are low maintenance, look like real wood, and have a long life span. These boards are made up of 95% recycled wood fibres and plastic, making them environmentally friendly as well as easy to upkeep.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bed sheets<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Great news! You can soon relax in the knowledge that you\u2019re being <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reconomy.com\/about-us\/sustainability\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">environmentally sustainable<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> while lying in bed! Ecozee, a company that is set to launch bed sheets made from recycled plastic, states it is going to help you \u2018save the environment in your sleep\u2019. With the average plastic having a \u2018useful life\u2019 of approximately 15 minutes, it\u2019s clear to see that bed sheets made from recycled plastic will turn this into a much greater lifespan!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Home d\u00e9cor<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It\u2019s not just companies who can create great uses for old plastic. Users on social media channels are always sharing the DIY skills regarding old plastic material. Stand out examples include jewellery stands, themed plant pots, and pencil organisers \u2014 all created using the bottom of plastic bottles and milk bottles. Some much more extravagant examples by those with creative flair include hanging chandeliers and Christmas trees!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Transport<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Moving away from home comforts, did you know that many forms of transport use recycled plastics in production? In 2018, vehicle manufacturer Volvo set itself a goal of using 25% recycled plastics in cars by 2025. This can range from fishing nets to old bottles and can be used in areas such as dashboards and carpets. Currently, the company states that approximately five per cent of plastics in its cars are made from recycled materials.\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Elsewhere, in 2017, pilot and environmentalist Jeremy Rowsell made history by flying a light aircraft across Australia using conventional fuel that was mixed with fuel which derived from plastic waste. This journey, which saw him travel 500 miles from Sydney to Melbourne, saw the fuel used include a blend made up of 10% end-of-life plastic that was usually found in the ocean and landfill sites. It was a breakthrough in potential future fuels for light aircrafts.<\/span><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Of course, there are many other ways plastic can be recycled. And, when you recycle materials, it uses far less energy than creating them new, so recycling has many benefits. While recycling is a major topic of discussion, we still have a large scope for improvements regarding the subject in order to help save our planet. It\u2019s not just up to companies to use recyclable products either, so recycle today to reap the rewards tomorrow!<\/span><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sources:<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/friendsoftheearth.uk\/plastics\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">https:\/\/friendsoftheearth.uk\/plastics<\/span><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/inews.co.uk\/news\/environment\/great-pacific-plastic-patch-twice-size-france-ocean\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">https:\/\/inews.co.uk\/news\/environment\/great-pacific-plastic-patch-twice-size-france-ocean\/<\/span><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.recycleandrecoverplastics.org\/consumers\/kids-recycling\/plastics-can-become\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">https:\/\/www.recycleandrecoverplastics.org\/consumers\/kids-recycling\/plastics-can-become\/<\/span><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/publications.parliament.uk\/pa\/cm201719\/cmselect\/cmenvaud\/339\/339.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">https:\/\/publications.parliament.uk\/pa\/cm201719\/cmselect\/cmenvaud\/339\/339.pdf<\/span><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/billyoh.com\/extra\/blog\/garden\/how-much-time-brits-spend-garden\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">https:\/\/billyoh.com\/extra\/blog\/garden\/how-much-time-brits-spend-garden\/<\/span><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.boredpanda.com\/plastic-bottle-recycling-ideas\/?utm_source=google&amp;utm_medium=organic&amp;utm_campaign=organic\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">https:\/\/www.boredpanda.com\/plastic-bottle-recycling-ideas\/?utm_source=google&amp;utm_medium=organic&amp;utm_campaign=organic<\/span><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/ecozee.co\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">https:\/\/ecozee.co\/<\/span><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/europe.autonews.com\/article\/20180618\/ANE\/180619754\/volvo-sets-goal-of-25-recycled-plastics-in-cars\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">https:\/\/europe.autonews.com\/article\/20180618\/ANE\/180619754\/volvo-sets-goal-of-25-recycled-plastics-in-cars<\/span><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.euractiv.com\/section\/transport\/news\/plane-fuelled-by-plastic-waste-completes-trailblazing-flight\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">https:\/\/www.euractiv.com\/section\/transport\/news\/plane-fuelled-by-plastic-waste-completes-trailblazing-flight\/<\/span><\/a><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Plastic pollution is the biggest concern for our planet right now in 2020.
