I learnt that polystyrene in made from plastic. First they sort them by colour, there caps and labels are removed and then put into a grinder, where they are cut into small chips. After they have cut them into tiny pieces, the chips are melted and is pushed through tiny holes. As the liquid gets cooler (usually cools from the air) It turns into very thin and fine thread, thinner that hair! They are put together to make it stronger and are weaved and sewn to make cool clothing!
Did you know that New Zealanders send 2.5 million tonnes of rubbish every year? And that is enough to fill 714,286 shipping containers. A train travelling at 100 kilometres per hour, would take at least 20 days for it to pass a single crossing!
Over all I give this book 4 stars, It has a lot of facts and can change the way you feel about recycling.
Thank you for reading my book review please let me know what you think.
