Plastics recycling inching forward – USA
Posted on May 12, 2023 by DrRossH in Plastic RecyclingPlastics recycling is inching forward, according to all the latest data.
While some in the media are convinced that plastics recycling is a myth, the numbers show that it’s a substantial business — and growing. Whether that’s happening fast enough to head off a new wave of product bans and resin taxes is another story. But we know it’s a growing market.
Last month the annual post-consumer plastics recycling data came out. It shows the volume of post-consumer plastic recycled in the United States increased by almost 300 million pounds between 2020 and 2021. That was significant news since recycling had slumped in 2020, which experts blamed on the pandemic.
