Abstract: Management of polymeric waste is an important problem in the Republic of Albania due to their environmental impact. Most of the problems comes from polymeric materials that have been buried and burned in the landfill. During the last decade the percentage of the polymeric waste have been grown rapidly in the overall municipalities of Albania due to the increasement of the consumer usage of polymeric products. Based on it, our government recently have implemented the law for supporting recycling technologies and reducing the environmental impact that comes from polymeric materials waste management. Our research work will be focused will be focused on the state of art of the most implement recycling technologies for polymeric materials in the Republic of Albania.
