The Alliance to End Plastic Waste (AEPW) has released its third Solution Model playbook, providing a roadmap to reintroduce mixed plastic waste streams into the value chain using scalable recycling methods. This model is designed to cater to low-income economies and developed nations with mature recycling infrastructure. The Solution Model playbook, “Capturing Value Through Basic Mechanical Recycling of Mixed Plastic Waste,” outlines how basic mechanical recycling, employing simple technologies, can transform mixed plastic waste into new products like furniture, construction materials and eco-aggregate materials.
