The process to recycle milk jugs & other plastics into a durable plastic wood fencing product. Video courtesy of WNEP’s Home & Backyard Show.
@Coshka77 and cause the escape of natural and un natural gas….. And Im glad people are more worried about money and costs rather than the future of our children and the planet they may or may not live on. Who gives two shits how much it costs to recycle…. it gives more opportunities for jobs as well as new ways to make revenue for our country. P.S. there are natural ways to get ink out of paper… the process is generally just called bleeching…
cool
The most annoying video I’ve seen so far!
You should do some research before post your opinion, dude…Trust on you, are u kidding????
@Shaman145 Recycling does save energy. Energy does not equal money. Drilling for ore, smelting and processing uses up more energy than collecting, melting and processing. This is true for aluminium.
Plastics are generally so incredibly cheap to produce that it is indeed cheaper to just make new plastics. But that does leave you with an increasing pile of plastic waste that takes thousands of years to decompose or release dioxins or other toxins into the air when burned.
@Coshka77 Moreover, there are a lot of gradations in tree cutting. The biggest problem is rain forests getting chopped to provide monoculture plantations. This reduces the capacity of controlling floods, precipition and filtration. It also takes away natural habitat from native species, which may cause unforeseen shifts in the web of life, and affect humans in a very real way (insect plagues, for instance). Plus some plants that may go extinct could’ve contained a cure for cancer.
@Coshka77 Some falsehoods cleared up: the thing with recycling is that instead of accumulating 10 tons of aluminium you reuse say 1 ton. This makes a profound difference in waste management. (Incidentally, it is cheaper to recycle aluminium than to drill for ore, smelt, process. This is not true for plastics.)
There are tens of thousands of peer-reviewed studies providing proof for global warming. So I suggest going to your local university and asking for them if you want proof.
Have you watched
Penn and Tellers Recycling is Bullshit?
You may rethink things
The thing is, recycling is an ethical opinion and choice. I personally do not believe recycling can help the environment, if the process of re-smelting the aluminum and the bleaching of paper with harmful chemicals, goes into the atmosphere anyway. It costs the US 20 billion just to recycle. You expect me to believe in Global Warming too? Where is the proof for that? Also think about it, if we cut down trees, more tress will be planted. And landfills can collect energy from deteriorating trash.
Recycling = help waste management companies make more millions, if they want me to recycle then don’t charge me a monthly fee.. FUCK RECYCLING! Hire more people to do it at your facility, that’s much better for jobs AND the environment.
@autumnsylver They actually do. I sometimes watch the garbage dudes at my college, and we have all these bins that are labelled either recycling or waste. They just pick them up and empty them into the same bin xD
@radsilenttime stop talking shit
wow, annoying accent.
My father says that they just pick it up and throw it in the garbage too. We all just ignore him and keep recycling stuff. lol
in england every thing gets thrown into a land fill site no matter how well you sort it out and clean it and thats a fact . this is shite
If you want more truth, check this one out: watch?v=PndeWksuTjg
It would be hilarious and entirely logical for her to be faking this accent.. just cause she’d obviously get 5 times as many views. Not saying she is.. because that would be silly of me to say..
This is winderful! you ahold see our video
@recycleurscraps Let me tell you something: I live in San Francisco, where they’ve recently implimented a law that says you HAVE to recycle. They will actually fine you if you don’t recycle. Simply enough, they are charging you money, for not wasting your money. This movement is purely business, as well as pure bullshit.
Listen… if you want to feel good AND recycle, then recycle aluminum cans. The metal has 100% carbon transfer and is 100% recyclable, no wasted product. Go for it!
@recycleurscraps If recycling was as beneficial as people let on, we’d be payed for doing it. It doesn’t save money; it doesn’t save trees (as a matter of fact, it has the exact opposite effect); it doesn’t save energy. Let me repeat that, it DOESN’T save energy. It’s merely a feel-good thing that people do to cope with the guilt of not having a hybrid. And there’s plenty of this echo-guilt to go around, because why? Because there’s plenty of money to go around.
@Shaman145 To say that recycling doesn’t work is sort of a negative useless thing to say. The process of reducing, reusing and then recycling is a very good process for citizens of our consumer society. Recycling is not an excuse to just produce numerous amounts of plastic containers but its definitely not good to say it “doesn’t work.”
really? did you have to say “sweeet” right after the Fatality number from the Molasses Flood? really? great video, but c’mon. obviously, you are on a great path, super-helpful and possibly people are listening to you/gettin motivated, so check your cheekiness and keep being Clever & Kind. Love the knowledge you’re spreading. *cheers.
i found out ever since they made the CFLs that they hurt the enviorment to make and to break the bulb it self and the toxic material thats inside can be harmful to your health then why in the fucken world that the government is forcing us to use these toxic bulbs around children who will break them and it can ruin our inviorment
Yeah, and then they sell it to you at twice the price of regular materials… but it does pay off in the end!

WOW she talks WAY to fast
A post ranges in price from $ 17.50 to $ 31.25, depending on all recycled plastic or wood/plastic composite posts. google “close the loop” for more info, thanks!
@midwestcharm Fred has allot of work with that HUGE box to go through
Awesome video.
Fred needs ear plugs
Great Video, Thank you for sharing
I wonder if the cold weather would make the plastic brittle? Maybe make it prone to snapping?
Please join my facebook group “Don’t Be Trashy. Recycle.” It is to spread the word and it is also a project for my biology class. Send it to everyone you know. It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!!
Hi
I promote recycling in the UK. I noticed that you don’t have a link in the description of your video and was wondering if you would place a link in there to one of my websites?
This is literally 30 secs work for you and I will send you $20 instantly via paypal once done.
I will also add your youtube link or website into about 500 article directories, so you will receive more traffic.
Look forward to hearing from you soon.
John
great keep up the good work and hope u keep selling this item like hot cakes
awesome video ! I like it so much . Thank you for sharing .
nutier
realy interesting
Bravo!!!
thats a great idea.
That’s how business start. They start small and if the products sells they grow.
Looks like a pretty dinky process if you ask me…
What a load of nonsense, the best substute for wood is more wood from sustainable forestry, the energy used to transport, recycle and make another product negates any saving, especially if it ends up in China like most of our recycling!
terrific process, used machinery and all.
nice end product.
i wonder if they have different styles of fencing in the future?
Veeery simple way! I wish noooo more plastic junk in seas and lands!!! Let’s save all the animals…
One of the best and useful recycling that I’ve seen.
great way to re-use materials that would otherwise fill up our land fills. I wonder how these poles compare price wise to wood or other fence materials.
inspirational…. Thank-you for putting it here
Amazing
At least energy use is still lower than producing virgin milk jugs. Unless you would want your milk in a recycled paper carton where your milk will have shorter life span and if not consumed immediately it will go to waste as well.
great stuff ,,,
Costs of the posts?
