Chewing gum can be recycled through a process where it's molded like other plastics, then heated to create a compound used for manufacturing.
The recycling of chewing gum involves transforming it into a new, usable material. Here’s a breakdown of the process:
- Collection: Used chewing gum is collected.
- Processing: The collected gum is processed so it can be molded like other plastics.
- Heating: This processed material goes through a heated process.
- Compound Creation: The heated process results in a compound.
- Manufacturing: This compound is then used to manufacture new products.
This process allows the gum to be repurposed into items made from recycled gum material.
