Recycling is key in helping conserve natural resources and protect the global environment for human wellbeing. Among the long list of recyclable materials, plastic waste recycling is one of the major aspects to be focussed on. Plastic waste in landfills, incineration, and more are creating immense negative impacts on the environment.

To reverse the effects of improper waste disposal on the environment, Some of the top brands have finally taken the initiatives towards:
- Conserving Natural resources,
- Reduced emissions of pollutants,
- Take Back programs and
- Use recycled materials in the manufacturing process.
