4. INTRODUCTION
• Recycling converts waste into new products, reducing greenhouse
gas emissions and conserving resources.
• It prevents material waste and lowers energy, air, and water
pollution.
• Key in waste reduction, recycling includes materials like glass,
paper, metal, plastic, textiles, and electronics.
• While ideal recycling creates new materials, practicality often
leads to reusing or salvaging components from complex items.

5. MOTIVE
To minimize and reuse the plastic waste to get
green environment

6. SCOPE OF PLASTIC RECYCLING
• Environmental protection: Reduces plastic pollution, preserving ecosystems.
• Resource conservation: Saves energy and reduces dependence on fossil fuels.
• Economic benefits: Creates jobs and supports recycling industries.
• Energy efficiency: Requires less energy compared to producing virgin plastic.
• Technological innovation: Drives advancements in recycling methods and
product design.
• Decrease air and water pollution from waste disposal
• Conserve materials for continuous reuse in making new products

7. WHY PLASTIC RECYCLING?
• Recycling waste plastic is essential for mitigating plastic pollution,
• conserving resources, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
• By diverting plastic from landfills and incinerators, recycling
minimizes environmental harm and preserves natural habitats.
• Additionally, it saves energy, fosters economic growth, and
promotes a sustainable future for generations to come.

8. SMALL SCALE PRODUCTION

10. RESULT
S
• Technological Evaluation
Laboratory tests show recycled plastic pellets match virgin plastic in purity and mechanical
properties, credited to advanced sorting and washing technologies, validating the chosen
recycling approach's success.
• Economic Assessment
The economic analysis affirmed the profitability of the small-scale plastic recycling project,
with favorable returns and surpassing job creation projections, highlighting its significant
socio-economic impact and potential for sustainable local development.
• Community Engagement and Education
Community surveys and interviews show increased awareness of plastic pollution and
recycling, with educational outreach programs fostering environmental responsibility. Positive
community responses indicate potential for sustained behavioral changes and a lasting
recycling culture.

11. FUTURE ASPECTS
• Continuous Improvement:
The project's success drives ongoing innovation in plastic recycling, aiming to improve
efficiency, expand recyclable materials, and advance sustainable waste management
practices.
• Policy Advocacy
Future aspects entail advocating for supportive policies for small-scale plastic
recycling through collaboration with policymakers and environmental agencies,
aiming to foster sustainable waste management practices.
• Regional Expansion
Future plans entail expanding small-scale plastic recycling facilities to neighboring
regions, capitalizing on pilot project success and knowledge gained. Regional
replication will extend positive outcomes, tackling plastic pollution challenges across
diverse communities.
