Answer by crash o
The reason the different types of plastic are segregated before recycling is that when melted together, they don’t blend into a homogeneous mixture. In fact, after cooling back down, they will separate back into even – more – difficult – to – separate mixed plastic solids.

All I can suggest is, since these materials are derived from petroleum, they can be burned for a pretty good amount of energy. The lone exceptions are the PVCs and similar plastics, which give off HCl gas when burned.
