Repurposing plastic waste is an important step in reducing environmental pollution. Here are some possible solutions to recycling plastic: 1) Upcycling – convert plastic waste into higher value products; 2) Export – export the plastic wastes to those countries that can properly recycle them; 3) Energy recovery – incinerate the waste and convert it into energy; and 4) Biodegradable waste processing – use special compounds which will biodegrade, breaking down over time into natural components. Each of these solutions provides a safe way to dispose of our growing amounts of discarded plastics while supporting environmental sustainability.
