Abstract
One of the most important environmental problems at present is the pollution of the environment with polymer waste. This problem plays an important role not only in the life of the population of the Republic of Kazakhstan, but also in the entire ecological system of the country. The amount of polymer waste is growing every year. Polymer waste clogs our cities and contributes to multiple health problems for humans and animals. More polymer waste is sent to special landfills. At the moment, there is a significant increase in the number of landfills . This situation has developed due to the lack of sorting points in many regions of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The solution to all these problems depends not only on the government, but also on ourselves. If we use less polymer products in our daily lives, recycle them, then we will make our environment cleaner. Nowadays, there are various ways to process and dispose of polymer waste, which have their advantages and disadvantages, and are being modernized. The problem of recycling polymer waste requires new ways to recycle and reuse polymers in a closed system so that they never become waste.
The article presents an overview of the methods of processing polymer waste used at enterprises of the Republic of Kazakhstan, their advantages and disadvantages, stages of processing polymer waste, requirements for recycling plastic, plastic products. Some additional devices for recycling polymer waste are considered and proposed for use.
