<p>Washing machines (13, 15) are utilized to recycle plastic and cellulose from disposed diapers (49). The disposed diapers are loaded into a washing machine (13) and, while being agitated, are washed in water, alkali and soap. During washing, the cellulose becomes separated from the plastic. The cellulose is drained out of the washing machine (13) with the water, leaving the plastic (51) in the washing machine (13). A pump (17) transfers the cellulose (53) and water to another washing machine (15) for further cleaning. In addition, other products, such as milk cartons and drink boxes (251, 259), newspaper, and office waste paper, can be processed.</p> |
