Milk Jug Recycling

Milk Jug Recycling – Did you know that your favorite park bench could have been made out of used milk jugs? Join Curiosity Quest Goes Green host Joel Greene as he explores the process of recycling milk jugs. We are all aware that we need to recycle bottles; cans and glass…but milk jugs are often the unsung recycling hero. In this DVD you will learn why the milk jug plastics are so unique and why they are all the same color. Greene follows the milk jugs as they are cleaned, shredded, and melted down into tiny plastic pellets. Following the pellets, Greene travels to a manufacturer who melts them down and spreads them into a mold to create pieces of a park bench, among other things.
