[greenyes] Colored versus Uncolored PET and HDPE Bottles and Jugs - Is the distinction helpful considering today's plastic resin recycling markets?

[Stephan Pollard <sp@no.address>]

Folks,

I am not at all familar with existing plastic resin recycling markets 
hence my question: Regarding PET and HDPE bottles and jugs, generally 
speaking how necessary is it to distinguish uncolored from colored in 
the context of sensitivity of plastic resins to existing recycling 
markets?  At least one statewide waste composition study in 2000 made 
the distinction while other more current studies do not.  Is making the 
distinction in such studies generally helpful or an unnecessary exercise 
today?
