Plastic has become an essential part of modern life,with around 1 million plastic water
bottles sold every minute and 5 trillion plastic bags used worldwide every year,according to the
UNs Environment Program.Half of all plastic production is designed for single-use purposes,and
the annual output of over 400 million tons is projected to reach 1,100 million tons by 2050.This
growing mountain of waste has intensified public and regulatory demands for improved recycling.
Recycling plastic,however,is complex.Many items are dirty or made from multiple
layers,making traditional methods ineffective.Consequently,over 90%of plastic waste is
buried,or deserted in nature.In response,forward-thinking companies are investing in
advanced recycling technologies to turn waste into raw materials for new plastic.Yet,this
approach has caused debates.
One common method,pyrolysis,involves heating plastic waste to produce oil and synthetic
gas,which powers recycling plants.However,the process releases harmful substances,raising
concerns about its environmental impact.Critics argue that,rather than achieving a reduction in
carbon emissions（排放)，this method might result in similar or even higher levels of
emissions compared to the production of new plastic.Some even accuse the industry of using
advanced recycling as a way to justify continued plastic production.America's Environmental
Protection Agency has rejected this approach,and European environmental groups share similar
coneerns.
Despite these challenges,advanced recycling has potential.For instance,Mura Technology
in the UK claims its hydrothermal process produces more output with lower carbon emissions,
while Australia's Samsara Eco is developing enzyme-based methods that remove the need for new
oil.These advancements could make recycling more efficient and environmentally friendly,
helping to keep plastic in use rather than in landfills(填埋场)，
While the debate around advanced recycling continues,progress is underway.Britain
recently approved a version of the mass-balance approach,and many EU member states are
leaning towards acceptance.With further innovation and investment,advanced recycling could
play a vital role in addressing the global plastic waste crisis.
