Plastic waste is a waste type in MSW yet a number of challenges still exist in managing this waste type.

A number of articles focusing on drivers or factors influencing sustainable management and recycling of solid waste and municipal solid waste were reviewed. Further analysis of the results indicated a number of drivers from the economic, environmental and social aspect as drivers to sustainable development of recycling systems for post-consumer packaging plastic solid waste.
