Recycling. Recycling of Plastic Debris.
Shigen-to-Sozai, 1997 The material recycling rate of the plastic wastes in 1995 was 11%, which means 950, 000 tons of plastic were recycled as the materials. Taking a look at them by the production sources, the plastic wastes such as the waste pieces from molding processes, off-specification products, etc.
