Australian plastic recycling breakthrough

The growth of plastics recycling in Australia shows that society, government departments and industrial sectors are working together to seek environmental protection and economic progress.

A new survey report on the recycling of plastic products inspires everyone involved in the recycling of used plastic products. At the same time, it also pointed out that more efforts are needed to stop large amounts of waste plastics and continue dumping them on the dump site.

The 2001 survey on recycling by the Plastics and Chemical Industry Association shows that the growth of plastic recycling has shown a clear and persistent trend in Australia. With an average recycling rate of approximately 11% for all plastics, the recycling rate of PET beverage containers has risen to 30%. This Xiangming recovery, classification, storage and processing system has been established and provided a continuous and stable development basis. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved Australian Visy's recycling of PET plastics for use in food packaging containers. The endorsement of food containers means that the recycling of packaging materials in Australia has broken the framework of paper-only containers, and plastic has made great breakthroughs, especially PET. The people are actively involved in the recycling business. Now it is the industrial sector. The survey also showed that the industrial sector has established a system that strives to support public environmental protection and adheres to the long-term recycling of plastic products.
