Plastic recycling has grown 10-fold in 10 years

Plastics account fo 11% of wastes collected. For every million tonnes of plastic packaging on the market, only 40% currently meets requirements for sorting, and 235,00 tonnes are actually recycled (source: ecoemballages.fr). Moreover, the French government has set a target for the 100% use of recycled plastics by 2025.

Why recycyle plastics?

  • Enviroment: in the natural world, plastic takes between 100 and 1,000 years to break down.
  • Energy:
    • fuel savings: 1 kg of plastic film = a 0.8 kg saving of crude oil.
    • For energy production: 50% of production with recycled plastics = 5 million kWh of energy.
  • For the manufacture of new objects: 1 bottle = 7 chip cards.
  • For lighting: 1 plastic bag = 10 minutes of operation of a 60-watt bulb
