One cannot speak to the plastics recycling market without addressing the North American plastics market as a whole. Now leaders in cost-effective plastics production, North America is challenged to recycle its finished goods products in a cost-effective way. This webinar will cover some basic information as it relates to plastics recycling in North America.  A review of terms and technologies will be followed by discussion of the major issues of today, and those to be played out in the coming years.
