Post-consumer plastic is one of the main sources of material for recycling. It consists of plastic waste generated after use by consumers.
This type of plastic includes, for example:
- food packaging
- bottles
- containers
- disposable products
Recovering and recycling these materials is essential to reducing the environmental impact of plastic. The main difficulties of post-consumer recycling:
- Inefficient separate collection - Not all separate collection systems work effectively.
- Contamination of materials - Food residues or other waste can make recycling more complex.
- Mixing of different polymers - Much plastic waste contains different types of plastic mixed together.
Opportunities for the sector
Despite the difficulties, post-consumer plastic recycling offers significant opportunities for the industry. These include:
- the development of new recycled materials
- reducing dependence on fossil raw materials
- creating new business models based on the circular economy
