Resources to enhance your advanced recycling knowledge
Plastic recycling rates are relatively low. According to a 2022 report by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), globally, the bulk of plastic waste ends up "in landfills, incinerated or leaking into the environment, with only 9 percent being successfully recycled*." While mechanical recycling is a good fit for certain types of plastics, it is not able to address all of society’s plastic recycling needs.
Key benefits
Advanced recycling has the potential to complement mechanical recycling and can help support the plastic value chain’s circularity goals by:
-
Processing difficult-to-recycle plastics and widening the range of plastics that can be recycled
-
Delivering certified-circular polymers for use in high-performance applications without sacrificing performance
-
Enabling a more circular economy for plastics
