In addition to tracing the growth trajectory, the report highlights how the plastics industry is committed to sustainable development. 90% rigid plastics, including PET bottle waste and 60% of flexible waste is being recycled. 6.4 million MT is estimated to be recycled in 2021-22 which is 60% of plastic waste stream.
