Plastic and Plastic Film Recycling

Plastic is one of the most complex and problematic waste streams globally due to the variety of resin types and high contamination rates.

In the largest global study of commercial waste, Great Forest waste expert found that:

• The largest portion of non-organic divertible materials found in over 100 waste audits of commercial waste worldwide was plastic.
• The largest portion of non-organic divertible materials going into the trash stream was plastic.
• Most of the contamination in the glass/metal/plastic recycling stream was due to soiled plastics.
