Plastic products are of great value to society. Plastics have put in motion many positive developments and facilitate safety, health, comfort, food and welfare. Most plastics are made from fossil fuels such as oil. Plastic products or plastic packaging are o�en incinerated (with energy recovery). This is a linear economic model. In a circular economy plastics and plastic products maintain their value by re-using, repairing and eventually recycling. The basic principle is that products and materials are specifically designed for this purpose.
The illustration below shows the current situation of plastics in the circular economy in the Netherlands.
PLASTICS IN THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY
BIOBASEDCurrently less than 1% of the plastics are procused from renewable feedstock5.
ENERGY
3 to 4% of all extracted oil in the world is used as energy to produce plastics1.
Sustainable energy sources could be used in order to reduce environmental impact.

PLASTIC HEROESNearly 50% of plastic packaging waste o�ered for re-use is household packaging waste. This is mainly collected with the Plastic Heroes
collection system (2013)4.PLASTIC LITTER
As a result of abuse, poor logistics and misuse there still is created a lot of plastic litter. This partly ends up in the soil, but a lot of plastic is
also accumulated in the gyres in the ocean.
PLASTIC COLLECTIONMany sectors have their own (plastic) waste collection organizations. There is Wecycle for electronic devices and lamps, ARN for vehicles, VKG for window frames and there are several private collection systems.
