"Plastic" is a substance. And it could be used as a count noun or an uncount noun. But the reason why I changed your sentence is that the 'none of recycling them' part of your sentence doesn't sound natural as it is used in the sentence.

I think we could also say 'The main reasons for an increase in waste are using more plastics and recycling none of them'.
