<p>The present invention provides improved systems for plastic recycling. In a first embodiment for recycling HDPE milk jugs (100), a cold water wash step (3) is used to remove bacteria-generated odor from milk jugs (100). In a second embodiment, a system for recovering PET and HDPE from soda bottles (100) is disclosed. The separation stage utilizes a three-compartment sump (44) to separate HDPE using water as the medium, and two further stages (47 and 48) using heavier media for separation of PVC cap liners and aluminum from the PET.</p> |
