Ecological and Economic Problems of Recycling Polyethylene Packaging Materials

In this paper we consider polymeric wastes, which occupy one of the first places in the composition of municipal solid waste. The effect of polyethylene waste on the environment, humans and wildlife is considered. An environmental program "Biodegradable" was developed, which allows you to quickly assess the feasibility of technical and economic measures to replace most of the polyethylene waste by biodegradable to improve the quality of the environment in a particular area.
