Today, is being used more and more.
In fact, most of the solid waste at present consists of plastic that has been thrown away.
Plastic is made up of valuable natural resources including water and petroleum. Yet it is not bio-degradable. This means that plastic waste can not be converted into organic matter, and become part of the soil.
So plastic must be recycled in order to say on the energy and natural resources, needed to create new plastic products. Recycling of plastic can be done by a physical process such as melting. It can also be done by a chemical process the recycled plastic may have a new form. For example plastic water bottles can be melted and recycled to make plastic furniture.
