So what exactly happens to the used food containers and fizzy drink bottles that we leave out for collection?<\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<div class=\"c-domain-icon c-domain-icon--text\">\u201cAt the point of collection, there are three different pathways for plastic material \u2013 recycling, landfill and incineration,\u201d explains Morico, a senior process engineer at NextChem in Italy. \u201cThe reason why not all plastic can be recycled is that the quality of the material decreases after each cycle, gets mixed up with other materials, and after a while cannot be recycled anymore.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<div>She adds that blended or highly contaminated materials cannot be easily recycled either. These often end up in landfill, or are incinerated.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<table style=\"width: 99.9988%; border-collapse: collapse; border-style: double; border-color: #001f7d;\" cellpadding=\"0,5\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 100%;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cde.ual.es\/en\/waste-and-recycling-commission-seeks-views-on-revision-of-the-waste-framework-directive\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cde.ual.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/waste-2-768x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"201\" height=\"134\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"entry-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cde.ual.es\/en\/waste-and-recycling-commission-seeks-views-on-revision-of-the-waste-framework-directive\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Waste and recycling: Commission seeks views on revision of the Waste Framework Directive<\/a><\/h4>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n<div class=\"row c-article__below-teaser\">\n<div class=\"c-article__domains col-12 col-md-auto ng-star-inserted\">\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Different types of plastic are then separated mechanically.
