What are the used plastic issues at stake ?​

In developing countries, economic growth and changes in consumption and pro-duction patterns have caused a sharp increase in plastics‟ use and,
consequently,used plastic is becoming a major waste stream.  Due to the properties of the plastics, the high quantities being generated and the lack of efficient end-of-life management, this poses serious threats to the environment and human health. Even in best cases, when plastics are disposed off in sanitary landfills, they occupy large spaces and prevent the proper decay of other waste.  

Additionally, all these practices ignore the potential for used plastic to be converted into energy.
