AI Thread Summary
Recycling processes for plastics often involve disinfection methods to ensure safety and cleanliness. Common disinfection techniques include heat treatment, which can effectively kill bacteria and pathogens. Chemical methods, such as using detergents or sanitizers, may also be employed during the recycling process. However, detailed information on specific chemical processes for disinfecting various plastic polymers is limited. Further research into industry practices and academic sources may provide the needed insights.

I'm having a significantly harder time finding information on this than I thought I would.

I'm trying to write a small report on the chemical processes that recycled plastics are put through, but I can't seem to find much information on the methods used to disinfect various plastic polymers.

Any information or places that I should be looking would be very helpful.

I have no idea; but would heat not be achieving that?
 

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
