At present, the world is facing severe environmental problems. Water pollution, ozone layer consumption, air pollution, and waste of non-renewable resources pose serious threats and challenges to human living environment. In industrialized countries, the management of the production and processing of municipal solid waste (MSW) is also considered an important part of environmental issues.
Plastic waste recycling has become the focus of global attention, and many countries abroad are quietly contributing to the protection of the environment.
UK: A project called RecoMed for recycling medical PVC has received praise. The project provides recycling bins and promotional materials for the recycling of high quality PVC medical plastics such as masks, oxygen masks and plumbing. These materials are incinerated or landfilled if they are not recycled.
Finland: Kesko, a large chain retailer that deals in fruit, daily necessities and household goods, claims to reduce the number of plastic bags used in its own stores. The initiative will begin next year and Kesko will also purchase plastic bags. By the end of 2017, plastic film is only used to wrap meat, and other goods are available upon request.
Germany: After two years of operation, the REFLEX project has finally come to an end. The project team announced its results at the K show in Germany. The aim of the project is to provide more options for recycling flexible packaging.
South Africa: South Africa, the fifth largest country in Africa, recycles 4.7 million PET bottles a day. In 2015, 52% of used PET bottles were recycled. The recovery rate is expected to reach 54% this year.
Austria: The New Generation Group is a well-known company engaged in the manufacture of recycling machinery. The company has launched a pilot project to make waste plastics. Plastics News says the technology can be used in existing plastic recycling plants to handle most of the waste plastics.
