Abstract

Plastic is increasingly used worldwide and is becoming an essential part of everyday life. There are many scientific articles on recycling or recycling methods for plastics, but so far there are few solutions for the use of the waste generated by plastic de-waste treatment processes. Proper management of plastic waste can reduce the negative impact on the environment and human beings. In this paper, the waste generated during the mechanical processing of plastic is investigated its suitability for biofilter loading. In this way, the amount of plastic waste generated could be reduced and the air could be cleaned from unpleasant odours and other pollutants generated during the treatment of plastic waste.
