The Global Opportunities of Plastic Waste
Date Published: 5th April 2022
Most developed economies are experiencing problems with plastic waste. Prior to 2018, much of it was sent to China, in principle to be recycled. In practice, much was burnt or simply ended up in the oceans. While other export destinations in Asia or Africa have taken some of the slack since the Chinese ban, tighter regulations in many of these countries have rapidly been introduced. In the longer term, therefore, dealing with plastic waste domestically is going to take a far higher priority.
Key to this is seeing plastic waste as a commodity with a useful purpose and therefore value, instead of just an environmental problem to be dealt with. Only in this way will the issue attract sufficient investment and industry attention.
Investment in modern and innovative means to deal with plastic waste involve a range of technologies, from sorting to recycling and generation of fuels. The AcuComm database currently contains 450 such projects around the world. These are worth nearly US$9 billion, or US$20 million each on average.
