The UK Governments Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA)76 estimated in
1999 the municipal waste stock in England and Wales to 480 kg/inh/y, from which 29 kg (6 per cent)
were made of dense plastics and 24 kg (5 per cent) of plastic films. DEFRA reported that only 3 per
cent of the total waste plastics was recycled in the UK in 1998.
Burstall77 estimates that the plastic films waste in the UK is estimated to 1,000,000 t/year or 17
kg/inh/year, from which 150,000 t/year (2.5 kg/inh/year) is recycled. Sixty percent (i.e. 10.2 kg) of
those films waste have a domestic origin. The waste plastics from ELV is estimated to 240,000 t/year
(4 kg/inh/year) and those from E&EE waste to 220,000 t/year (3.7 kg/inh/year).
