Preparation Recycle Outline

I. Introduction

General Purpose: To tell the audience how important of recycling also the process.

Attention Seek: People use lots of plastic products everyday. After using, most of us just throw

it away randomly and not thinking about it. Even if we put the trash in the recycle trashcan we

still don't know how it work and just our small action can help a lot.Only few people really have

the knowledge about the process of disposing the plastic items after we recycle them. This

speech will offer an introduction of this process.

A. We used plastic everyday from smallest things to bigger things

● Everything we buy are using plastic from sushi(box), chinese to go food

(container), sandwich(box), drink(plastic cup and straw),...

B. Plastic is everywhere in our lives.

C. We take advantages of its convenience.

D. However, the disposition of plastics after usage has always been a problem.

● Plastic will always stay the same through time and it’s bad for the environment.

This where recycle come to place.

E. We all know “recycle”. But does anyone know what is actually recycle does?

Transition: Well, now, we’re going to figure out the life of plastics starting from the recycle bin.

II. Body

A. Plastic products are divided into seven groups according to the “plastic identification code”.

1. How to classify

● By quality

● By color

2. Example of different types of plastics

● Different types of bottles

● Soft drink bottle (type 1)

● Juice bottle (type 3)

● Disposable take-away containers (type 6)

Transition: After being separated by group, plastics are then​ ​transported to recycle factory.

​B. In the recycle factory, the plastics go through a process of disposition.

1. Crashed into little pieces.

2. Workers put the pieces into water and get rid of some impurities.

3. The pieces are all dried up and become usable materials.

Transition: The pieces are then transported to the final stops.

C. The plastic final stops are different kinds of factories.

1. Because of different qualities between each kind of plastic pieces, they will be

transported to different factories that fit them.

● PET (type 1) to wig, zipper and textile factory

● PE (type 2 and 4) to plastic factory again

● PVC (type 3) to artificial leather factory

2. After going through the factories, the plastics are given new looks.

● PET pieces to bags, wigs and zippers

● PE pieces to plastic boxes and plastic garbage cans

● PVC pieces to artificial leather

3. The recycled plastics now have new lives. We are now can reuse them and it does not

waste our space in our Earth anymore.

​Transition: This is all about how recycled plastics get their new lives​.

III. Conclusion

Summary

These seem a long and complicated process but we do not have to do all of that. Our job

is to put the plastic that we had used to a recycle pin, some people even source out their trash at

home. Not everyone understands the importance to of recycle, some people see the trashcan and

they just put their trash in without thinking, they just want to get it rid of their unused trash.

Well, this trash is building up every day and if we don't start to take responsibilities we will live

in the trash one day. I understand it not possible that we can live totally without plastics today,

but we can at least try our best to recycle them. However, nothing can use forever. Like the

plastic, we can only recycle them for the current amount of time, but that does not mean we

should not be recycled. Each of us plays a role in our world. If you don't want to live in the trash

one day, recycle, It simple and easy. But the plastic in the right the recycle trash and let the

expert do their things.
