Plastic Wrap, Film, Bag Recycling Increases

摘要

The recycling of postconsumer plastic film packaging surged 116 million pounds, or 11 percent, in 2013 to reach a reported 1.14 billion pounds, according to a national report released at the 2015 Plastics Recycling Conference. This marks the highest annual collection of plastic film-a category that includes product wraps, bags and commercial stretch film made primarily from polyethylene (PE)-for recycling, since the survey began in 2005.
