Recycling 1 kg of waste plastic equates to reducing the use of 2-3 kg of crude oil, which is equivalent to reducing or saving the import of 1 kg of plastic raw materials. It can reduce solid waste landfill by 0.53 kg and cut CO₂ emissions by 50% and SO₂ by 80% during ethylene production. Using waste plastic as a raw material results in approximately 45% less wastewater discharge and 60-70% lower energy consumption compared to producing plastic from crude oil. The greenhouse gas emission reduction efficiency for recycling waste plastic is 0.36 tCO₂e per ton of waste plastic.
DataBeyond helps recycle 4.03 billion PET bottles in 2023, which can reduce approximately 1.209 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions. Not only does it have significant importance in reducing carbon emissions, conserving energy, protecting resources, and reducing pollution, but it also has a positive impact on the social economy, promoting the process of circular economy and sustainable development.
