Chemical recycling is the broad term used to describe a range of emerging technologies that allow plastics that are either technically difficult to process or uneconomic to recover, to be recycled. By turning plastic waste back into base chemicals and chemical feedstocks, chemical recycling processes have the potential to dramatically improve recycling rates and divert plastic waste from landfill or incineration.
Closing the loop of plastic waste
All partners in the value chain may collaborate to implement fully circular models where plastics can be used and recycled again and again. Closing the loop keeps plastics out of landfills and the environment and reduces demand for fossil resources like oil and gas.
