This methodology seeks to augment and improve projects related to plastic recycling in both formal and informal sectors. It is noteworthy that the informal sector is accountable for 58% of the total plastic waste that is collected and recycled worldwide (Lau et al., 2020).

This circular economy methodology encompasses activities related to plastic recycling that salvage plastic waste from the environment. The recovered plastic waste is then reintroduced into the industrial value chain as a raw material or utilized in the production of new goods.
