In general conversation, nothing.
If I had to draw a distinction, waste > garbage in my mind. So, plastic garbage would be things like bottles, bags, toys, and so on. Things made of plastic that people have thrown away.
Plastic waste, on the other hand, would be all of those things plus perhaps raw materials and/or manufacturing debris.
Say you are using a machine to mill a block of plastic into a sphere. A lot of plastic debris is created.
The milling machine produces a lot of plastic waste. <--- sounds fine
The milling machine produces a lot of plastic garbage. <--- sounds strange
