Post-Consumer Plastics Recycling

International legislation and growing environmental issues have imposed a lot of pressure on companies and
manufacturers to maximize the recycling systems. Such demands have had significant consequences for the
plastic industries to use recycled plastics from the disposed plastic wastes. Therefore, this study is an initiative
taken by the Nanomaterials and Polymer Nanocomposites Laboratory (NPNL) at the University of British Columbia
and Recycling Alternative Inc. in Vancouver, BC, to obtain a comprehensive understanding of plastic recycling
and its market. Therefore, recycled plastics can be introduced as a cost-effective alternative source of plastics for
a great range of applications.
