The
Plastic Problem

and current challenges

Our modern lifestyles thrive on the lightweight and durable protection that plastic packaging offers. Unfortunately a very small amount of plastic is recycled…

Much more is needed to address the plastic pollution problem. Efforts to reduce plastic consumption and to boost re-use of plastic, plastic waste collection, sorting, and recycling capabilities need to increase. Plastic Energy plays a key role in recycling plastic waste and developing a circular plastic economy.
