‘Pump can’t be recycled’ is becoming recognized problem in market
The main stream plastic recycling process in the market is to shred plastic components into chips, clean the chips, and turn the chips into renewed resin. Most basic containers made of recyclable material, such as shampoo bottle and cream jar, can be recycled in this way, but pump or packaging including a pump mechanism can’t be recycled like this because of the metal spring and glass ball contained.
