The existence of Plastic Waste harms our world.
You'll collect and Recycle them.
Villagers rarely(%20) fill their trash in Garbage Bags.
You have to find the Garbage Bags in the villages and separate the plastics.

You can use the Trash Picker for this.

There are "6" types of plastic waste in total.
You'll find "3" random plastic waste from each garbage bag.
You're in luck if you find waste that is frequently recycled but if you find waste that is rarely recycled,
You don't have to worry. They will come in handy though!


You have to make a Recycling Bin to recycle the plastics you collect.
If you right-click on the Recycling Bin with plastic waste, you'll get Plastic Nuggets and XP depending on the type of plastic.


You can combine Plastic Nuggets into Plastic Ingots and you can also make Plastic Armor with these ingots.
Plastic Armor has the strength of Iron Armor but has 5x more durability. (Almost 2x more than diamond and netherite armor as well.)
You can let me know about any bug or suggestions.
