Rapid urbanization and economic growth are affecting an exceptional increase in the production of municipal solid waste (MSW), including packaging waste globally. Nations have a comparatively higher GDP incline to generate vast quantities of MSW. Forecasts appearance that the production of MSW through main metropolitan will increase from 1.3 and 2.2 billion tons, respectively in the year 2012 and 2025¹. The recycling of plastic/packaging waste materials to produced value-added material is an essential aspect for scientific research worldwide because the attenuation natural resources make a risk in future. Waste of MSW is frequently a high source of many essential materials for recycling such as plastic, glass, metal and paper. Active management of MSW can allow reclamation of essential materials of recycling and decreases of harmful impact on the environment. The waste categorization is a crucial step in MSW or many kinds of wastes, such as packaging/plastic waste management for materials recycling. Worldwide researchers have been vigorously discovering automatic categorization methods for efficiently handling of growing amounts of MSW. This review article summarizes growths in separation techniques, conversion for plastic/packaging waste in value-added products and its uses that have taken place in the area of source segregated MSW recycling, including plastic/packaging waste in the last decade.

从城市固体废弃物中分离塑料/包装废物并将其转化，并在不同应用中用作增值产品：生态可持续发展的方法

快速的城市化进程和经济增长正在影响城市固体废物（MSW）产量的异常增长，其中包括全球的包装废弃物。各国的GDP倾向较高，可产生大量的城市固体废弃物。预测显示，2012年和2025年，主要大城市的城市固体废弃物产量将分别从1.3亿吨和22亿吨增长¹。将塑料/包装废料循环利用为生产增值材料是全球科学研究的重要方面，因为衰减的自然资源在将来会带来风险。MSW废料通常是许多重要的可回收材料的来源，例如塑料，玻璃，金属和纸张。积极管理城市固体废弃物可以回收主要的回收材料，并减少对环境的有害影响。废物分类是MSW或许多废物（例如用于材料回收的包装/塑料废物管理）中的关键步骤。全球研究人员一直在积极寻找自动分类方法，以有效处理不断增长的城市固体废弃物。这篇评论文章总结了分离技术的发展，
