Plastics Recycling Trailer at Cerritos College, Publications and Information


Plastics Recycling Trailer - The Plastics Department is involved in education through more than just traditional courses. The department has developed a Plastics Recycling Trailer with the help of its sponsors, the Western Plastics Pioneers, the SPI Western Section, The American Plastics Council (APC) and Cerritos College. The trailer functions as a "classroom on wheels" providing information about ecological issues of plastics and actually perform "on site" plastics recycling.

PLASTICS RECYCLING PROGRAM

The Plastics Recycling Program is designed to educate the general pubic on issues of plastics recycling and to provide a mobile educational tool for plastics recycling and production.

The program focus is to inform and distribute literature on the applications of plastic recycling at civic events, schools, trade shows and local industries. The mobile unit will provide an "on-site" interactive recycling demonstration, expanding knowledge and awareness to the plastics consumer.

PROGRAM GOAL

The goal of the Trailer is to take simple plastic materials, such as polyethylene and/or PET containers and transform (recycle) them into usable molded parts (in minutes) right before your eyes. The majority of raw materials will be provided by the general public, who will collect and sort clean, dry, #2 plastic containers. These materials can be received "on-site" in a provided collection bin. Educational materials will also be provided.

"ON-SITE" ACTIVITY

Once the trailer arrives and sets-up, the collected plastic containers will be accepted. Steps including conditioning and molding will be visually demonstrated. This will teach the applications of recycling plastics, as well as raise the awareness of the consumer to the positive environmental impact of reducing solid waste. Secondary process machinery will demonstrate the necessary operations on materials that previously were simple, "useless" empty containers.
The Trailer will actively cover the Southern California region with special visits as scheduled. This program is also designed to be rapidly reconfigured for special presentations (seminars, workshops and clinics).
