In this downloadable document the mechanical recycling of plastics from industrial and consumer waste is discussed. The re-utilisation of waste plastics may lead to a reduction of the use of virgin materials and of the use of energy, thus also a reduction of carbon dioxide emissions. In some cases, plastics recycling may be profitable. However, a number of factors can complicate the practice of plastics recycling, such as the collection of the plastics waste, separation of different types of plastics, cleaning of the waste and possible pollution of the plastics. A further complicating factor is the low-value nature of most of the products that can be manufactured from recycled plastics.
