Plastic Content – Plastics are not plastics. Plastics within Plastics – Plastics are not what they
appear. Contamination – A little goes a long way. Regulations – What we need to meet? Conversion – What effects cost? What has been accomplished?

Non-Plastics Metals – Wood – Foam - Rubber – Glass – Paper & Foil labels -
Contamination Contamination
Fasteners, Springs, Clips, Wire
Pallets, Manufactured press wood
Acoustical light weight foam
Variety of materials, diff. to separate, cause greatest problems
Clear float glass, little CRT leaded glass
Metal foils reduce plastic recovery, paper easily removed
