Abstract Production of plastics for engineering and consumer items in the United States has been predicted to reach 113 million tons per year by the year 2000. This figure does not include the production of polymer used for synthetic fiber or fabric. From 31 to 38 million tons of the plastic produced is expected to reach the solid waste stream, depending on the basis of estimation. The largest amount will go to sanitary landfills, and the next largest amount will be thermally treated using such methods as power generation, incineration, and pyrolysis. Small amounts of plastic are expected to be disposed of in open dumps or as litter. Resource recovery for plastics in municipal refuse up to the year 2000 is expected to be insignificant. Air pollution as a result of plastics in the landfills and open dumps will be negligible, even if there is still some burning of open dumps in 2000.
