Bekendtgørelse om plast, 1981.
§ 1. Ved anvendelse af bestemmelserne i denne
bekendtgørelse skal følgende definitioner
lægges til grund:
Plast: Materiale, der som en væsentlig del indeholder en
højpolymer, og som på et eller andet stadium i dets
forarbejdning til endeligt produkt kan formes under flydning.
Elastomere materialer, som også kan formes under flydning,
betragtes ikke som plast.
Plastforarbejdning: Erhvervsmæssig fremstilling af
plastprodukter som hel- eller halvfabrikata.
Plastoplag: Oplag af forarbejdet og/ eller uforarbejdet plast.

Plastics have outgrown most man-made materials and have long been
under environmental scrutiny. However, robust global information,
particularly about their end-of-life fate, is lacking. By
identifying and synthesizing dispersed data on production, use, and
end-of-life management of polymer resins, synthetic fibers, and
additives, we present the first global analysis of all
mass-produced plastics ever manufactured. We estimate that 8300
million metric tons (Mt) as of virgin plastics have been produced
to date. As of 2015, approximately 6300 Mt of plastic waste had
been generated, around 9% of which had been recycled, 12% was
incinerated, and 79% was accumulated in landfills or the natural
environment. If current production and waste management trends
continue, roughly 12,000 Mt of plastic waste will be in landfills
or in the natural environment by 2050.
