THE IMPORTANCE OF PLASTICS FOR PACKAGING Compared to alternative materials, plastic is one of the most sustainable materials available for packaging applications. It is widely used to manufacture films, bags, trays, bottles, and containers, and it has excellent overall properties such as impact and tensile strength, clarity, processability, colorability, and durability. Optimization of the plastic recycling process along the value chain is therefore of the highest importance and will foster a circular economy that helps to achieve the plastic industries’ sustainability targets.
