Advanced recycling technology

Plastics benefit society in many ways. Because they're lightweight, versatile and durable, they're often the material of choice when compared with alternatives such as paper, aluminum or glass. They are expected to play a vital role in a lower emissions future by enabling technologies like plastic solar panels and lighter, more efficient electric vehicles.

The advanced recycling process converts plastic waste back into its molecular building blocks, which then become the raw material for making new products such as transportation fuels, high performance chemicals, and plastics. It’s a proven technology that can be used around the world to improve recycling rates and support a more circular economy.
