In response to the global call for environmental protection and reduction of plastic waste, developed countries around the world have implemented various plastic recycling models and achieved success in producing regenerated materials.
The recycling of plastic waste is one of the most effective methods to conserve raw plastic resources. Recycled plastic helps save significantly more energy compared to producing new plastic materials, as it reduces costs associated with extraction, transportation, and processing. Currently, plastic waste recycling is considered an environmentally friendly method, saving over 75% of energy and mining waste, reducing emissions by 97%, saving up to 90% of raw materials used, and reducing water consumption by 40%, among other benefits.
Following the global movement to protect the environment and minimize plastic waste, many countries such as Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden have implemented recycling models and succeeded in creating regenerated materials.
These recycling models have been highly praised by international environmental experts as exemplary practices that should be adopted to combat plastic waste and protect our own lives.
