Basics

  • The Recycling of Plastics
  • Given that they can chemically degrade due to various mechanisms, or become dirty this is complex, but in most cases it is still very achievable
  • The main reason for the low amount of recycling is due to creating new plastic from Fossil Fuel feedstocks is cheaper, along with some other aspects like unclear collection/labeling systems
