A: Recycling is big business these days, isn't it?

B: Yes, it's definitely a growing business.

B:是,它的确是一项欣欣向荣的业务。

A: What do you recycle in your plant?

A:你们工厂循环利用什么?

B:Mainly plastics. Plastics aren’t bio degradable - they don’t break down easily in the environment - so they shouldn't be thrown away.

B:主要是塑料制品。塑料制品不能生物降解，它们在外界不容易分解，因此不应该扔掉。

A: How is plastic recycled, then?

A:那么是怎么对塑料制品进行循环利用的？

B: 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.

B:哦，基本上有两种方法。一种方式是将其塑料中的化学材料分解成小的化学微粒。然后这些微粒就可以用来生产新的化工品。

A:Is that the method you use here?

A:你们这里使用这种方式吗？

B: No, we don't do that here. We recycle polyethylene and we make it into other products.

B:不，我们这里不这样做。我们对聚乙烯再循环利用，而且我们将其做成其他产品。

A: How do you do that?
