10. Lessons Learned
โข Landfilling remains the most used waste treatment option for plastics as long it
is the cheapest option
โข Countries which have banned the landfilling of plastics achieve generally the
highest recycling and energy recovery rates
โข Eliminating the landfilling has potential to increase reputation of plastics since
it is seen as a valuable resource after use-phase
โข Significant investments in recycling and energy recovery plants are
necessary, therefore legal certainty is needed.
โข Landfill bans (e.g. no material with a calorific value of more than 6 MJ/kg is
allowed in landfills) or accelerating landfill taxes are able to provide this
certainty
