Whereas plastics of the same type can often be mechanically recycled, recycling of mixed plastic waste poses a major challenge. So far, chemical recycling has been the only method that can be used to convert such mixed plastic waste into products equaling the quality of new ones. Such materials are not recyclable in most cases.
