Research on Environmental Impact Evaluation and Recycling Systematic Assessment of Plastic Waste in China

Article Preview

Abstract:

With the increasing of plastic consumption, the recycling of plastic waste has become an important problem with huge environmental impact. In order to analyze the environmental impact of plastic waste recycling, this study presents a systematic evaluation framework for plastic waste’s recycling process in China. Based on the framework, theoretical analysis and experimental research are made to evaluate the relationship of scale volume and environmental impact of plastic waste recycling. Cost and energy consumption of typical processing of plastic wastes have been calculated. And an optimization research is made to reduce the environmental impact, and increase recycling output efficiency for enterprise and local region.
