RECYCLING OF PLASTICS AND POSSIBLE USES AND TECHNOLOGIES
Abstract
Plastic materials are one of the main technological discoveries of modern civilization. Thanks to their variable properties and relatively low production costs, they have become an integral part of almost all human activities. The global production of plastics is constantly increasing. They are most often used as packaging materials and also play a vital role in construction and healthcare. In the presented article, the authors examine the methods of handling plastic waste in the Czech Republic and describe individual methods of processing plastic waste, including landfilling, energy use and recycling. The article focuses on the situation in the Czech Republic and describes the relevant legislation. The objectives of the European Union in this area are also listed. The authors also managed to collect statistical data on plastic waste management in individual countries and try to analyze and compare the causes of different results between countries.
