Envisaging life without plastics in modern industrial world is certainly not possible. Public acceptance due to its versatile properties made possible for its long-term growth. Plastics would continue to remain the material of future, not the plastics waste. Though plastics save Green House Gas emissions and thus mitigate the degree of climate change, un-disposed plastics waste in land and water front certainly create ecological issues.

Plastics are 100% recyclable or its latent energy can be recoverable adding value to the resource management. Recycling is not merely heating & shearing for making of granules for manufacturing low value products. New technologies upgrade the waste to value added resource. A robust waste management plan and system in the ground level improves the possibility of adding higher value to the waste inputs attracting entrepreneurial attention towards investment to this sector.
