However, research has been undertaken into household food waste, supermarket ...
Plastic bags usually use less material than comparable to boxes, cartons, or jars, thus are often considered as "reduced or minimized packaging". [2] In June 2009 Germany’s Institute for Energy and Environmental Research concluded that oil-based plastics, especially if recycled, have a better life-cycle analysis than compostable plastics .

The film is then passed through several more baths, one to remove sulfur, one to bleach the film, and one to add softening materials such as glycerin to prevent the film from becoming brittle. A similar process, using a hole (a spinneret ) instead of a slit, is used to make a fibre called rayon .
Resource recovery is using wastes as an input material to create valuable products as new outputs. The aim is to reduce the amount of waste generated, thereby reducing the need for landfill space, and optimising the values created from waste. [1] Resource recovery delays the need to use raw materials in the manufacturing process.
The most suitable materials for closed-loop recycling are aluminum and glass. These are known to maintain their quality throughout many cycles of extraction, production, use, and recycling. [5] For example, aluminum cans can be recycled and turned into new cans with practically no material degradation or waste. [citation needed]
