Circular Economy Plastics

Advanced chemical recycling technologies converting plastic waste into high-quality raw materials, creating truly circular plastic economy. Molecular recycling breaks down plastics to chemical building blocks, enabling infinite recycling without quality degradation.

How It Works

Chemical recycling uses pyrolysis, gasification, and depolymerization to break plastic waste down to molecular level. Advanced sorting systems separate plastic types using AI-powered optical recognition and density separation. Molecular recycling processes convert mixed plastic waste into virgin-quality monomers that can be repolymerized into new plastics.

Advantages

Enables infinite recycling of plastics without quality loss. Processes mixed and contaminated plastic waste unsuitable for mechanical recycling. Creates high-value products from low-value waste streams. Reduces plastic waste to landfills and oceans by 90%. Generates carbon-negative materials when powered by renewable energy.

Challenges

High energy requirements for chemical processes . Significant capital investment for commercial facilities . Complex technology requiring specialized expertise . Economic viability depends on plastic waste feedstock costs . Regulatory frameworks still developing for chemical recycling .
