Plastic Sorting Party in School!

As a class, we sorted through our plastic and analyzed the findings! We found that the majority of our plastic trash was type 4 or LDPE (low-density polypropylene). This makes sense, as LDPE is mostly used for flexible products like plastic bags for dry-cleaning, newspapers, bread, frozen foods, fresh produce and garbage, most shrink-wrap and stretch film, coatings for paper milk cartons and disposable beverage cups, thin container lids, squeezable bottles and some toys.
