What is Chemical Recycling?
Chemistry is used to make plastics, so it makes sense to use chemistry to reverse the process. By Recycling plastic back to its basic molecular building blocks, new products can be created, including chemical feedstocks which can be used to make new plastic.
Polymerization


Depolymerization

The goal of chemical recycling is infinite recycling.
Thermal Processing & Solvolysis
Types of Chemical Recycling
Plastics have a limited number of times they can be mechanically recycled before they downgrade, which is why chemical recycling is an important part of circular economies. We are creating an ecosystem of valuable resources from plastics, mimicking the way nature reuses products in new forms. Two key methods of doing this are thermal processing and solvolysis.
