Rigid Plastics Recycling Up 27％, Film Recycling Grows 3％

摘要

The recycling of post-consumer rigid plastics surged 276 million pounds, or 27 percent, in 2014 to reach a new high of over 1.28 billion pounds for the year, according to a report released at the 2016 Plastics Recycling Conference. The 2014 National Postconsumer Non-Bottle Rigid Plastic Recycling Report also indicated that the reported volume of recycled rigid plastics-tracked separately from bottles or film-is now four times greater than the volume reported in just 2007.
