Chemical recycling

Process that converts plastic waste into valuable chemicals and fuels by breaking down plastics at the molecular level. Chemical recycling includes methods such as pyrolysis, gasification, and depolymerization, which can handle a wider range of plastic waste and produce higher-quality recycled materials compared to mechanical recycling, though it is often more energy-intensive and expensive. This process is particularly beneficial for industries and organizations focused on sustainable waste management and reducing plastic pollution.
