A Case Study for Curbside Plastic Film Recycling in the U.S. (WasteExpo 2018)

From grocery bags, to food storage, to plastic packing materials, 3 billion pounds of plastic film is generated each year in the U.S. and most of it ends up in landfills. But are there other options? In this session, industry experts will discuss how curbside collection could transform the collection and recycling of plastic film that would otherwise go to landfill, and share a case study on the latest efforts to bring more recoverable residential plastic film into the recycling stream - how it can be done, and the benefits and challenges of doing so.
