INTRODUCTION
Plastic recyclingis the process
ofrecoveringscrap or wasteplasticand
reprocessing the material into useful products,
sometimes completely different in form from
their original state.

1- Waste emissions
Industrial waste emission level off
Global increase in waste emissions
2- Information about plastics

Breakdown of plastic production by resin type and
use

3- Processing and recycling of plastic waste

Major progress in effective utilization of plastic waste

Flow of plastic products, waste and recycling

4- Methods of Plastic Recycling
Three forms of recycling
Mechanical recycling process
Monomerization
Coke oven chemical recycling
Gasification
Thermal recycling

5-Conclusion and Future Scopes

Waste emissions
Industrial waste emissions level of
india produces approximately 600 million tons
of industrial waste per year, and a breakdown
reveals almost half the total to be sludge,
followed by animal excrement and demolition
waste.
Global increase in waste emissions
Economic expansion and the patterns of mass
production and mass consumption have led
to a steady increase in worldwide emissions of
domestic waste over the past 20 years
 Annual waste emissions of OECD in 1997, for
example, came to 540 million tons in total and
around 500kg per person.
This is an increase of approximately 40%
overall and 22% per person compared with
1980.
In the world, emissions are projected to rise
by a further 43% by 2020 to an annual total of
770 million tons and 640kg per person.
Information about
plastics
Manufacture of plastics from petroleum
Plastics are mainly highly polymerized
compounds consisting of carbon and
hydrogen, made from substances such as
petroleum and natural gas. naphtha (crude
gasoline) produced by refining crude oil is
used as the raw material for making plastics.
Breakdown of plastic production by
resin type and use
Half of production is polyethylene and
polypropylene
Processing and recycling of
plastic waste
Major progress in efective utilization of
plastic waste
Plastic waste emissions level off
Effective reutilization increases every year

Flow of plastic products, waste and

recycling
Effective utilization of plastic waste rises to
73%
Methods of Plastic
Recycling
Three forms of recycling

MATERIAL RECYCLING

CHEMICAL RECYCLING

THERMAL RECYCLING
MECHANICAL RECYCLING PROCESS
Monomerization
Coke oven chemical feedstock

Gasification
Thermal recycling
Future Scopes
Plastics have only been mass-produced for
around 60 years.
Most types of plastics are not biodegradable,
and are in fact extremely durable.
Majority of polymers manufactured today will
persist for at least decades, and probably for
centuries if not millennia.
