The paper discusses modern methods of plastic waste disposal (in particular, polyethylene (PE), as the most common industrial polymer) and shows the greatest potential of PE waste recycling technology. A promising technology for recycling secondary PE (rPE) - rotational molding - has been selected. All sources in international patent databases and Scopus and Web of Science databases since 2000 have been analyzed in the field of using rPE in rotational molding. It has been shown that the introduction of rPE into rotational composites allows for the production of high-quality products while reducing production costs and simultaneously recycling PE waste. This significantly reduces the environmental impact on the environment. In conclusion, it is concluded that the use of rPE in rotational molding is promising and can contribute to the development of a green circular economy.
