The entire environmental situation in the world and in Russia, in particular, depends on an increasing number of waste recycling plants. Very often, in many regions of our country, garbage recycling is carried out only formally, on paper, without conducting real inspections, which leads to a deterioration of the environmental situation as a whole. In this regard, the author identified the need for the development of a business plan for the processing of plastic waste.
