Plastic waste, which has a tendency to spread to even the remotest environments, can take centuries to decompose,
The upshot of this is that a lower proportion of plastic waste is recycled compared with other materials:
However, it should be pointed out that Europe also uses plastic waste as an energy source, and so, together, energy recovery and recycling use up more than half of the Union's plastic waste.
Going with the flow The variability in the quality of inputs also leads to major fluctuations in the viscosity,
resulting in significant waste. The EU-funded project'Sensor-base ultrasonic viscosity control for the extrusion of recycled plastics'(Ultravisc) has broken the mould
