(Everyday Technical English)
Recycling.- Recycling is big business these days, isn’t it?
- Yes, it is definitely is a growing business.
What do you recycle in your plant?
Many plastics. Plastics aren’t bio-degradable – they do not break down easily in the environment - so they shouldn’t be thrown away.
How is plastic recycled then?
Well, there are basically two methods. One is to break down the chemicals in the plastic into smaller chemical particles. These can then be used in the production of new chemicals.
Is that the method you use here?
No, we don’t do that here. We recycle polyethylene and we make it into other products.
How do you do that?
By melting it down and then reforming it. Our main products are bin liners for kitchen bins and carrier bags for supermarkets.
Environmentally-friendly products.– You say products are aimed at the green
consumer. In what ways are they environmentally-friendly?
We produce household cleaning products – detergents and so on. They are all phosphate-free, which minimizes damage to the environment.
What about the packaging?
We try to use as little packaging as possible. Also, all our bottles are made of recyclable plastic and we use recycled fibre in our boxes. That is what our customers want.
Energy. – We’ve managed to reduce our energy consumption in our factory by
about 15 per centin the last two years.
That is excellent. How have you managed that?
Mainly because we’ve invested in a heat recovery system.
What does that mean exactly?
Well, we use the exhaust gases from our printing presses to provide energy to heat our dryers.
What other sources of energy do you use?
We don’t use any fossil fuels. Most of our power comes from hydro-electric plants. We are hoping to use even more energy from alternative sources in the future – perhaps even wind power.
LEARNING.
I. Read/listen to the following interview about Martina’s education:
Interviewer: So, Martina, first of all, tell me something about your education.
Martina: Well, of course I went to primary school and secondary school. I really loved primary school. The teachers were fantastic and we all played a lot but at the same time we learnt a lot. When I went to secondary school it was completely different. My secondary school was very traditional. We had to wear a uniform, a blue skirt and jacket, and there were lots of rules. I didn't like it at all.
Int.: What were your favorite subjects at school?
M: Well, I always liked science, so I suppose my favorite subjects were Biology and Chemistry.
Int.: When you left school, what did you do?
M: I went to Manchester University to study Chemistry but I didn't enjoy it. Luckily I had a very nice lecturer called David and he helped me a lot. He suggested a different course, so after the end of the first year I started to study Information Technology. That was basically all about computers. And I enjoyed that a lot more.
I: Have you studied any courses since university?
M: Yes, well a couple of years ago I did a part-time course in new technologies. That was for work really. And I love languages so in the last few years I have studied Italian, German and I've just started a distance-learning course in Russian. It's difficult because you don't have normal classes. It's all on the Internet and it's hard to practise speaking. I don't really enjoy it but there are no places to study Russian in my town.
