Quality and Recyclability of Plastic from Household Waste

June 11, 2019

To mitigate growing environmental threats such as climate change and resource depletion, the circular economy concept has gained momentum. Traditionally, materials have been lost through incineration or landfilling; however, in a circular economy, materials are recirculated into society, ideally to the same quality levels as they had originally, so that all demands within the material loop are fulfilled and use of virgin material can be avoided. However, recycling of materials, especially from heterogeneous waste streams such as household waste (HHW), often leads to recycled material of reduced quality, which only leads to a partial closing of the material loop – and thereby only partial circularity. This aspect is currently not part of the environmental assessment of materials and is therefore yet to be quantified.
