Everyday, we are spoilt with all kind of plastic containers. Why I said that is because I’m sure you’ve experienced where plastic containers especially the drinking or mineral water bottles over flowing the garbage container at almost every corner of the town.

Yesterday I had another experience of this when I tried to throw away my 500ml drinking water bottle at the car wash centre. When I open the garbage container, it’s full with drinking water bottles! This is what we call Scrap High Density Polyethylene or Scrap HDPE.

When I think about it, imagine what happen if these bottles are simply thrown away or burned. The amount of pollution it caused will be major. Scrap HDPE is not biodegradable, meaning if you buried them, it will still be there after 100 years maybe. And if you burn them, you know how much black smoke plastics produced when they are burned.

So, please save the world… try to take home your drinking bottles and use it for other purposes or recycle them at the recycling centre.
