摘要: But today, it is easier and increasingly more common for governments to find new, innovative ways to improve citizens' lives and infrastructure-while stretching precious dollars-through innovations in materials and business practices. And there is an additional environmental urgency as well, especially regarding waste plastics. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), landfills received nearly 27 million tons of plastic in 2018-18.5% of municipal solid waste that year. However, only 3 million tons (8.7%) were recycled in 2018. Plastic is difficult and expensive to recycle, and finding new ways to recycle and repurpose plastic waste will certainly have environmental benefits.
