Today, plastic materials have become a part of our daily life, they are used almost everywhere. Some items made of plastic are made for long-term use. A very large part of it is designed and manufactured for short-term use. (Such as shopping bags, bottles, packaging products, etc.). Plastic can remain intact in nature for centuries. Today, plastic waste is all around us and even in the most remote corners of the world. Plastic waste seriously damages the nature and our health. It even pollutes the seas and causes great damage to marine life. There are about 142 million tons of waste in the seas and oceans, which is 20 kg of waste per person. While 10 million tons are added to this figure every year,

Recycling any material possible is an important factor for the environment, but the recycling of plastics is of particular importance, due to their slow degradation in nature. While plastics can take hundreds of years to biodegrade, they remain intact in nature for 1,000 years. This waste does not rot or spoil when thrown in the trash. In nature, it has shown its effect for many years. It causes water and soil pollution. Also, the raw materials of plastics are oil, gas, and coal. 4-5% of world oil reserves are used in plastic production. Recycling plastic can save natural resources and energy.
