Opportunity to increase plastic recycling from <10% to 30%+

What is Advanced 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 petrochemical feedstocks which can be used to make new plastic.

Polymerization
Depolymerization

The goal of advanced recycling is infinite recycling.

Thermal Processing & Solvolysis

Types of Advanced Recycling

Plastics have a limited number of times they can be mechanically recycled before they downgrade, which is why advanced 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.
