Recycling Plastics

Bài tập thuộc chương trình học của lớp IELTS READING ONLINE 1 KÈM 1 của IELTS TUTOR

One of the most difficult wastes to recycle is mixed plastics, (example). Plastics manufacturers turn their own offcuts into granules that are melted down for reuse. They can also reuse any single, pure thermoplastic materials, (1)................ The British firm Meyer-Newman of Gwent recycles complete telephones into new ones. But mixed plastics have unpredictable properties and low structural strength because (2) ............. So it is difficult to make a material with good and predictable properties from mixed plastics waste.

In the grip of the octopus

One answer is compatibiliser. This is an octopus-like molecule in which each arm represents a section of different polymer, that in turn (3)................ Stirred into a mixture of molten plastics, each arm of the octopus grabs and reacts chemically with a molecule of the one polymer in the mixture. The result is an alloy rather than a mixture. It is strong because of intra-molecular bonding and has highly predictable properties, so it is potentially reusable.

During the past two or three years, many plastics manufacturers have (4) ................. But perhaps the most advanced, 'Bennet', was produced independently two years ago, after 15 years of research, by the Dutch engineer Ben Van Der Groep. His invention is already being used widely, largely in secret (5)....................

Bennet is made up of short sections of several polymers representing the arms of octopus, each able to link the molecules of a different polymer in the mixture. The reliable strength of the plastic 'alloys' made with Bennet suggests that (6) ....................

The vehicles recycling industry is keen to recycle more plastics. Despite the environmental benefits, they fear that the steady increase in the use of reclaimable plastics will make it uneconomic to recover vehicles from the metals they contain. Some car manufacturers, such as BMW and Mercedes, are now designing products and requesting components that are easier to recycle: (7) .................... (315 words)
