Abstract It is commonly agreed in the current legislative and scientific discourse that plastics recycling rates should be increased. Many recycling studies are dedicated towards this, but often they focus on post-household plastic waste. Non-household end-use plastics seems to be forgotten in data gathering, policy making and research, but have promising potential for high quality recycling. In this manuscript we bring together the most recent existing literature on non-household end-use plastic waste and offer a framework for shifting future waste management plans to effectively help increasing recycling rates.
