JPH09267332A - Recycle system of pet bottle - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system for recycling empty PET bottles efficiently. SOLUTION: A consumer etc. reduce the volume of empty PET bottles by a volume reducing tool etc. the bottles are put into a bag etc. to be stored, when the bag etc. are full, it is put into a dedicated bag etc. which are provided in an optional retail shop. When the dedicated bag is full, it is recovered by a specified trader, the dedicated bag is recovered by an optional recycling trader, and the PET bottles are subjected to recycle-processing such as inspection, crushing, washing, and selection to produce a crushed product. An optional molder molds the crushed product by a plastic molding machine etc.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a PET bottle recycling system for reusing empty PET bottles such as drinking water.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, empty plastic bottles have been filled up as mere garbage, used as fuel, or partially recycled.

[0003]

The problem with the prior art is that the amount recycled is extremely small, and most of them were discarded as garbage. The present invention is a system for remedying the drawbacks and for recycling more empty plastic bottles efficiently and reliably.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, a consumer or the like cuts an empty plastic bottle by a plastic bottle cutting device or the like to reduce the empty plastic bottle,
Put the volume-reduced empty plastic bottle in a bag etc. and store it at each home, and when the bag etc. becomes full, for example, to any retail store selling drinking water etc. in advance, the bag etc. For example, it is equipped with a dedicated bag etc. for storing, and put a bag filled with empty plastic bottles in the dedicated bag etc., and when the dedicated bag is full, it is optional by the drinking water manufacturer etc. , A specific business operator collects the exclusive bag, and instead installs an empty exclusive bag in the retail store.In addition, an optional reclaimer can purchase the exclusive bag that the drinking water manufacturer has collected from the retail store, etc. Collected from storage places such as business offices of water manufacturers, inspect the collected PET bottles, and further recycle processing such as crushing, washing, sorting,
A crushed product of a PET bottle is produced, and an arbitrary molding company molds the crushed product of the PET bottle with a plastic molding machine or the like.

[0005]

[Example] For example, the contents of the system introduction performed by the participating companies are a resin selection method, the flow of the recycling system, awareness of recycling, and the like. Further, it is more preferable that the consumer who puts out an empty PET bottle puts the PET bottle whose volume is reduced by using a cutting tool for the PET bottle, etc., from PET resin as a main raw material. Further, even if the exclusive bag to be installed in a retail store or the like is a box-shaped container or the like, the same effect is obtained. And if the retail store is a large supermarket, even greater effects can be obtained. Further, what is molded and processed by the molding company may be, for example, extrusion molding or injection molding. For example, they are processed into pellets, sheets, films, threads, cushioning materials, bags, cloths, and the like. Further, the specified business operator such as the drinking water manufacturer may be a company designated by the drinking water manufacturer. Furthermore, if any one of the specified business operator in charge of collection, the recycler, and the molding company is the same company or group, the effect is further enhanced. . Then, a business promotion company that builds these recycling systems may sell the recycled products.

[0006]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following effects. First, since the consumer himself / herself performs the same work as rough crushing, the process of rough crushing by a large crusher by a local government or its designated contractor is not required. Furthermore, since the consumer will work to reduce the volume of the PET bottle, the press work by the local government or its designated contractor is unnecessary. Furthermore, since PET bottles are reduced in volume at the source, small-scale transportation facilities are required, and specific businesses such as drinking water manufacturers use the existing route to deliver their products. Therefore, the transportation cost in the local government or its designated contractor may be deleted. from these things,
Since the burden on the local government is greatly reduced, the cost will be further reduced compared to the conventional flow of PET bottle recycling. In addition, as consumers participate in this system, they become more aware of recycling, and by confirming their own recycling marks on plastic bottles, PET resin and other resins Of high-quality recycled raw materials, and expensive resin sorting machines
Alternatively, the designated contractor may not have to purchase the product.
In addition, empty plastic bottles are an important resource, but we are less likely to waste those resources in vain, and we are able to more reliably and efficiently recycle plastic bottles, which also helps protect the environment. .

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1. A consumer or the like reduces the volume of an empty plastic bottle with a plastic container reduction container, etc., and puts the volume-reduced empty plastic bottle into a bag or the like for storage at each home. When is full, for example, any retail store that sells drinking water, etc. is equipped with a special bag or the like for storing the bag or the like in advance. Let the bag containing the bottle be put in, and when the dedicated bag becomes full, let the specified bag be collected by any specified business operator such as a drinking water manufacturer, and instead, the retail store should receive an empty dedicated bag. In addition, any reclaimer collects the dedicated bag that the drinking water manufacturer has collected from retailers etc. from the storage location such as the sales office of the drinking water manufacturer, and inspects the collected PET bottles. , Further crushing, washing, sorting Recycle processing of PET bottles, etc. to produce crushed PET bottles, and recycling of PET bottles characterized by any builder molding the crushed PET bottles with a plastic molding machine etc. system.
