The European chemical industry is convinced that chemical recycling technologies can play an essential role to transform plastic waste in valuable secondary raw materials. These technologies have the potential to avoid greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that can occur in both the feedstock production and from incineration of plastic waste. This positive environmental impact is confirmed by the new Quantis Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) report “Chemical Recycling: Greenhouse gas emission reduction potential of an emerging waste management route”, which was commissioned by Cefic.
