It has undergone the recycling process, which entails transforming used or discarded plastics into new materials for various applications. Synthetic polymers, known as plastics, are widely used in many applications because of their durability and versatility. However, the growing usage of plastics has raised serious concerns about the environment, largely due to their long decomposition time and ability to damage ecosystems. Plastics utilized by households, enterprises, and industrial facilities are gathered. They are then classified based on their type and resin identification code, which aids in selecting appropriate recycling procedures.

Water, soft drinks, juice, and other beverage bottles are frequently made from recycled plastics, especially PET (polyethylene terephthalate) and HDPE (high-density polyethylene). Food containers made of recycled plastic are used to hold ready-to-eat meals, dairy products, sauces, and condiments. Flexible packaging films and wraps for food and non-food products are made from recycled plastics. Clamshells and trays made of recycled materials are used to package fruits, vegetables, bakery products, and deli products. Blister packs made of recycled plastic are used to package consumer electronics, pharmaceuticals, and medical devices.
