Plastic
Current estimates are that there was 2,400,000 tonnes of plastic packaging waste placed on the market in 2017 with a further 2,500,000 tonnes of non-packaging plastic waste primarily from the construction sector. There is some debate around the accuracy of these figures, with earlier reports on non-packaging waste closer to 1,5000,000 tonnes.
Overview
Plastics are defined as 'any of numerous organic synthetic or processed materials that are mostly thermoplastic or thermosetting polymers of high molecular weight and that can be made into objects, films, or filaments' [1]. Although plastics present many benefits, plastic waste, generally, does not decompose and therefore persists in the environment presenting a variety of wide-reaching environmental issues, polluting soils, rivers and oceans, and harming the creatures that inhabit them [2].
Plastic waste reported as being sent to Landfill is decreasing; between 2012 and 2016 the tonnage dropped from 122,400 to 53,400. This is due to an increase in plastic waste being recycled or sent to Energy Recovery, with these treatment methods dealing with 91% of plastic waste in 2016 and the remaining 9% being sent to landfill[2].
The current focus in the media on the harm that plastic causes in the environment often does not consider the benefits that plastics can bring in a number of ways, including food preservation. The debate on the merits or otherwise of plastics use, and alternatives, is gathering momentum in the UK at present.
A recently published House of Commons Library Briefing Paper (7th January 2020) [3] sets out some further issues and a link to all relevant legislation and policy issues at the present time.
The Plastics Pact is an initiative with voluntary membership with the objective of transitioning to a circular economy for plastics, with targets for reduction, reuse, recycling and the elimination of single use plastics.
Under Simpler Recycling[4] Plastic is defined as:
- Plastic bottles made of PET, PP and HDPE
- Pots, tubs and trays made of PET, PP (including expanded PP) and PE
- PE and PP plastic tubes larger than 50mm x 50mm
- Cartons for food, drink and other liquids, including aseptic and chilled cartons
- Plastic film packaging and plastic bags made of mono PE, mono PP and mixed PP and PE, including those metallised through vacuum or vapour deposition
Macro Tonnage
The most recent information published by DEFRA [5] is summarized in the pie chart below, with 1,528,527 tonnes of plastic wastes generated in the UK in 2016 as part of the broader tonnage reported in UK Waste Tonnage:
| Plastic Wastes | |
|---|---|
| Data Table | |
| Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing (AFF) | 138,126 |
| Mining and Quarrying (MQ) | 766 |
| Industrial (Ind) | 373,144 |
| Construction (Con) | 67,445 |
| Commercial (Com) | 822,233 |
| Household (HH) | 127,842 |
The macro numbers above under report the total plastics put into the market, as the macro numbers exclude tonnage which would otherwise be captured in mixed categories. The macro numbers also do not breakdown the component elements of plastic, but the following headers in the page are the materials as handled by local authorities and as reported through WasteDataFlow.
WRAP in their most recent report [6] identify 2,400,000 tonnes of plastic packaging waste placed on the market in 2017 (of which around 550,000 tonnes was collected by local authorities) with a further 2,500,000 tonnes of non-packaging plastic primarily from the construction sector. There is some debate around the accuracy of these figures, and an earlier evolution of this report in 2016 [7] reported non-packaging waste closer to 1,5000,000 tonnes.
Indeed earlier plastics reports by WRAP acknowledge the challenges and accuracy around estimating plastic tonnage in the UK (in many cases relying on plastics placed on the market rather than plastics actually recycled to derive figures due to the poor quality of waste figures).
Assuming the total plastics placed on the market at the WRAP figure of 4,900,000 tonnes, this represents 2.2% of total UK Waste Tonnage but when taking out of consideration the categories of mineral waste (from construction and demolition and mines and quarries), soils, dredging spoils and sludges it represents 7.1% of total waste generated.
The headers below presently only capture the tonnage collected and reported by local authorities through WasteDataFlow.
