Abstract
Treatment of container and packaging (C&P) plastic waste is difficult because it is the mixture of many sorts of plastic and other materials and the cost of treatment is increasing rapidly to become a social issue. The comprehensive evaluation of environmental impact and economy of C&P plastic waste treatment has practically not be carried out. We evaluated the balance of environmental impact and economy on the treatment methods of C&P plastic waste using the eco-efficiency. The result shows the eco-efficiency of gasification, cement material, RPF (solid fuel) and incineration with power generation were high and of blast furnace material and coke oven material were secondly high and of mechanical recycling was low.
