Solid municipal waste contains a large volume of polymers and its final
disposal is a serious environmental problem. Consequently, the recycling of the principal polymers present in the solid waste is
an alternative. In this review we describe the mechanical and chemical recycling of polymers and the energy recovery from plastic
wastes. Polymer recycling involves not only the development of processing technologies, but also the solution of many chemical
and analytical problems. The technological, economical and social aspects of polymer recycling are also considered.
