Column on Resin Identification Handy Sensor: What is Plastic Recycling?
An easy-to-understand explanation of the current state and future of plastic recycling efforts!
Discarded plastics are causing serious problems in both municipal and industrial waste. Globally, approximately 350 million tons of plastic are discarded each year. Only about 9% of this plastic is recycled. Due to the current situation where about half is directly landfilled and around 20% is not properly managed, the outflow of plastics into the environment is increasing significantly. In particular, in low- to middle-income countries, the management of plastic waste is inadequate, which is one of the main causes of plastic leakage into oceans and other areas. *For more details on the column, please refer to the related link.
