25 million tonnes of plastic waste are produced each year in Europe and only 25% are recycled. With ever-evolving regulations and increasing expectations of manufacturers, plastics recycling is a rapidly expanding market.
In the meantime,
Faced with the environmental challenges linked to the increase of the world population and the scarcity of raw materials, transforming waste into resources is paramount and is today one of the main axes of the circular economy.
The current logic of our market economy is to extract, produce, consume and throw away. We need to revise the way we consume and produce to limit the production of waste and to develop it into new reusable materials: doing more and better with less!
Shortage of raw materials takes on alarming proportions
The difficulties encountered by certain industrialists in their supplies of raw materials continue: "The shortage of raw materials in the plastics industry is becoming unprecedented. We are very worried for the French plasturgists! "Alerts Florence POIVEY, President of the Federation of Plastics and Composites, who is worried about this situation that lasts.
A crisis affecting all of Europe!
This crisis is now affecting the whole of Europe, as the German and British federations and the European Plastics Confederation, EuPC, which represents all European processors, have emphasized. Sources http://www.emag.suez-environnement.com/

Michael Murray, PDG de Cynar PLC Green Fuel, a présenté son usine de transformation des déchets plastiques en Diesel.
At the end of 2010, Sita UK, a subsidiary of SUEZ ENVIRONMENT and leader in recycling in the UK market, and Cynar Plc, a specialist in conversion technologies, signed the first commercial agreement for industrial processing of household plastic diesel wastes.
​
This patent-pending technology was developed by Cynar Plc, which then sought industrial partners to deploy it on the market. Other technologies had already been talked about, but it was the first to lead to commercial implementation.
What happens to our waste if it is not recycled?
What happens to our waste when it is recycled?
One ton of recycled paper or cardboard packaging makes 2632 cardboard packaging.
Recycling a ton of food bricks saves:
2 tons of wood.
2 months of energy consumption of one inhabitant.
2 months of domestic water consumption of one inhabitant.
​
It takes 27 bottles to make a recycled fleece sweater, 12 bottles of soda to pad a pillow.
67 bottles of recycled water for a duvet of 2 people.
​
50% of the steel produced in France comes from recycled steel.
​
1000 recycled cans are needed to make a washing machine.
​
670 aluminum cans make a bike.
​
For one tonne of aluminum made from packaging waste, we save 2.3 tons of bauxite.
1 tonne of crude oil, 1.3 tonne of coal.

The cigarette butts are recycled!
TerraCycle, the company that makes plastic with your cigarette butts
The company TerraCycle created by Tom Szaky wants to launch a program to collect cigarette butts in France.
The rubbish bins for paper and plastic bottles, everyone knows.
But what about other objects that can not be recycled?
​
The TerraCycle company has the solution.
200,000 cigarette butts = a plastic armchair
"When we went to the tobacco industry and showed them the plastic we made from cigarette butts... Not only do they pay for the program but promote" , Explains Tom Szaky to our confreres of AFP. Sources: http://www.youphil.com/en?ypcli=ano
This start-up gives a second life to old chewing gums !!!
A small British company called Gumdrop recovers used chewing gums at collection points to transform them into plastic with which it manufactures consumer goods. Http://gumdropltd.com/
A 3D printer that builds houses !!!
A Chinese company has designed a giant 3D printer capable of building a house. The proof in pictures. The Chinese company WinSun has developed for several months a machine quite surprising. It is a 6.6 meter wide 3D printer for a 40 meter length capable of building homes. A year ago, WinSun introduced small houses built with the printer. Now, the machine is able to build a four-storey building or a villa. This innovative process seems almost "limitless" as the company plans to build skyscrapers. According to Le Figaro, Ma Hi Ye, general manager of WinSun, announces that he has received an order from the Egyptian government.
Construction of houses with plastic waste.
Oscar Mendez agé de 34 ans construit des maisons pour les sans abris à partir de déchets plastiques. Son but est de fournir des maisons décentes pour les sans-abris tout en réduisant le gaspillage des déchets plastiques encore trop peu recyclés. Il a donc fondé en 2010 sa propre entreprise dans son pays. A partir de plastiques et caoutchoucs usés Il fabrique des briques semblables à des pièces de LEGO. Il les assemble ensuite pour construire des maisons de haute qualité à bas cout pour les sans-abris ou personnes vivant dans la précarité. La construction ne nécessite que 5 jours et 4 ouvriers pour assembler une maison d’une surface de 430 m². Jusqu’à aujourd’hui ils ont construit un total de 16 145 m² et on planifié d’en construire de plus en plus chaque année. Depuis leur début en 2010. Ils ont recyclé l’équivalent de 300 tonnes de déchets plastiques en briques. En faisant cela ils ont améliorer le vie de dizaines de familles tout en contribuant à la préservation de l’environnement.
