· recycling and less than 3 of plastic waste is recycled into a similar quality product. → Global plastic production will triple by 2050 accounting for 20 of global oil consumption and emissions linked to plastic will reach 1.3 billion tons by 2030 equal to 300 coal-fired power plants.
The BPF Recycling Roadmap presents data on the UK plastic recycling industry across all sectors. It also looks at how much material is placed on the market in each sector. 8.1 Recycling plastic in electronic equipment. Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
· To boost recycling efforts the Alliance to End Plastic Waste — an industry group of major corporations including Pepsi P G and Shell — has promised to spend 1.5 billion by 2024 to reduce
· The major step involved in recycling is compressing and melting down of plastic in to a liquid. This is done in a way so that least pollution is generated. The next step involves filtering where waste residue is removed and higher quality of liquid is passed.
· The EU Circular Economy (CE) Waste Package has entered into force on July 4 2018 with new requirements on EPR (Extended Producer Responsibilities) for WEEE Packaging and Batteries. This Waste Package is the EU s approach towards "closing the loop" of product lifecycles through greater recycling and re-use measures.
Plastic is one of the world s most-used materials. Technically sophisticated lightweight and cheap plastics suit a broad spectrum of uses. The problem with plastic lies not in how it is used which is generally harmless but in end-of-life management of products made from it. Since 1950 close to half of all plastic has ended up in landfill or dumped in the wild and only 9 of used
· 2. Waste management overview. Even within the EU there are a wide range of waste-management prioritizations for the total municipal solid waste stream (MSW) from those heavily weighted towards landfill to those weighted towards incineration (figure 1)—recycling performance also varies considerably.The average amount of MSW generated in the EU is 520 kg per person per year and
· Plastic recycling is broken up into a few distinct steps. Generally these steps remain the same for most types of recycling facilities but certain steps can be combined or omitted in some situations. Step 1 Collection The first step in the recycling process is always collecting the plastic material that is to be recycled.

Recycling plastics is difficult because the waste stream contains a mix of plastics with different properties. Separating different plastics or finding uses for mixed plastics are major recycling challenges. The task is further complicated by increased use of multi-layer packaging in which layers of different plastics are fused into one container.

In August federal Bills on plastic pollution and Zero Waste were put forward in Congress by Senator Tom Udall (D-N.M.) and Representative Alan Lowenthall (D-Calif.) and Representative Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.).. Neither can come close to moving forward given the make-up of
· Recycled Plastics in Food Packaging. There is an emphasis throughout the United States on increasing the uses of post-consumer recycled (PCR) materials including plastic
· The good news is that since manufacturing facilities are the top producers of waste they also hold tremendous scope and potential for waste reduction and recycling. Right from gathering data to creating a waste management policy to implementing waste reduction and recycling initiatives on the manufacturing floor there are several steps involved.
· Millions of tons of plastic end up in landfills every year. It s a big societal problem and an even larger environmental threat. In the United States less than 9 of plastic waste is recycled. Instead more than 75 of plastics waste ends up in landfills and up to 16 is burned a process that releases toxic gases into the atmosphere.
· The U.S. is currently recycling only a small percentage of its waste. The benefits of recycling come not only from selling recycled materials and conserving resources but also from reducing expenses or from "avoided costs." In New Mexico the legislature passed the Solid Waste Act of 1990 which set a goal of diverting 25
A plastic recycling industry already exists but it needs to consolidate to scale up and increase its efficiency and capacity. Recyclers must work very closely with actors at all stages of the value chain to throw off the technical psychological and economic shackles hindering greater substitution of recycled plastic for raw plastic.
· Current Recycling Approaches. Mechanical recycling is the only widely adopted technology for large-scale treatment of plastic solid waste. The main steps are the removal of organic residue through washing followed by shredding melting and remolding of the polymer which is often blended with plastic of the same type to produce a material with suitable properties for manufacturing.
· Paper towel 2–4 weeks Plastic bag 10–20 years Newspaper 6 weeks Plastic film container 20–30 years Apple core 2 months Tin can 50 years Waxed milk carton 3 months Rubber boot sole 50–80 years Plywood 1–3 years Styrofoam plastic cup 50 years Wool

The task is further complicated by increased use of multi-layer packaging in which layers of different plastics are fused into one container.
· The first step in a recycling process is the collection of the waste and transporting it to a sorting plant to sort the plastic mix. The collected mix of plastics usually consists of various types of plastics especially for post-consumer waste. Pre-consumer (production) waste can be (relatively) pure.

· Under the high-adoption scenario the cost position of plastics-waste-based feedstocks—via mechanical recycling monomer recycling or reuse through pyrolysis or other feedstock supply—could potentially be so attractive that they could account for two-thirds of the profit-pool growth of the petrochemicals and plastics industry by 2030
Plastic recycling is the process of recovering and reprocessing plastic scrap or waste into useful and functional products. The main objective of recycling plastic is to reduce plastic pollution and also to reduce the pressure of creating brand new plastic products. Importance of Recycling Plastic. Plastic
