## The circular economy for plastics Considering the ubiquity of plastics in our consumption patterns and the amount of waste it generates, it is urgent to find efficient solutions for its recycling. This is why it is necessary to think of circular economy models, where used plastic waste is turned into a raw material for the production of new recycled plastic packaging. At Veolia, our Resourcers are building efficient and sustainable networks to collect plastic waste nationwide and process it efficiently. At the plastic recycling site in **Surabaya**, Ariska and her colleagues give a second life to all the plastic bottles collected. In this way, they provide our customers with efficient solutions to produce new recycled bottles that are both more carbon-free and more sustainable.
