COLLECTION IS ONLY HALF THE BATTLE

摘要

Plastic film recycling has grown for 12 consecutive years and has more than doubled since 2005, climbing to 1.3 billion pounds in 2016. Those are impressive numbers, but they really only tell part of the story. Recent turbulence in the markets for recycled film - in particular, China's current reluctance to import film for recycling - requires those of us in the professional recycling world to help stimulate domestic markets. In other words, it's time for us to help increase demand for products made with recycled plastic film. Because if companies, governments, and consumers aren't buying recycled, then we're not really recycling.
