jäätmed, mis koosnevad plastist, oksüdantide toimel lagunevast plastist või biolagunevast plastist
any discarded plastic (organic, or synthetic, material derived from polymers, resins or cellulose) generated by any industrial process, or by consumers
Plastijäätmed moodustavad märkimisväärselt suure osa segaolmejäätmetest.
Uuringu käigus eristati plastijäätmetena plastpakend (nö pehme plast ehk kile ja nö kõva plastpakend – PET-pudelid, karbid jms) ning muud plastijäätmed (nt torud, voolikud, plastist ehitusmaterjalid).
Kohaliku omavalitsuse üksus peab korraldama vähemalt paberi-, papi-, metalli-, plasti-, tekstiili- ja klaasijäätmete ning kodumajapidamises tekkivate ohtlike jäätmete liigiti kogumise.
Waste, in particular plastic waste, from rivers is one of the main contributors to marine litter, which includes discharges from inland waterway vessels.
In order to avoid waste treatment which locks in resources at the lower levels of the waste hierarchy, increase preparing for re-use and recycling rates, enable high-quality recycling and boost the uptake of quality secondary raw materials, Member States should ensure enhanced compliance with the obligation to collect waste separately, as laid down in Articles 10(2) and 11(1) of Directive 2008/98/EC, including the obligation to set up separate collection for at least paper, metal, plastic and glass waste that Member States had to meet by 2015, and should introduce separate collection of bio-waste, hazardous waste produced by households and textile waste.
