Chemical Plastics Recycling:
An innovative solution for waste management and the circular economy
Chemical recycling of plastics is an innovative technology that offers a sustainable solution for waste management and the circular economy.
Unlike mechanical recycling, which recovers materials to reuse them as raw material in similar products, chemical recycling breaks down plastics into their basic components and produces new high-quality materials.
Main advantages
Closing the
materials cycle
Chemical recycling allows the recovery of low-quality plastics and non-recyclable plastic waste, closing the materials cycle and reducing our dependence on virgin raw materials as well as on fossil fuels.
Reduction
of pollution
By recovering plastics that were already classified as waste, we prevent them from ending up in landfills or in the environment. In this way, we manage to reduce both pollution and the rate of waste generation.
Energy saving and
fewer emissions
Chemical recycling consumes less energy than the production of materials from virgin raw materials, which reduces greenhouse gas emissions and contributes to mitigating climate change.
Innovation, technology and social return
Chemical recycling requires innovation and technology for its development and implementation. This, without a doubt, drives the creation of new job positions and economic opportunities in the waste management sector.
