Breaking the Bubbles of the Different Renewable Carbon Sectors to Enhance the Transformation of the European Chemical Industry

The Renewable Materials Conference opened up new avenues for the chemical industry in Europe. The three winners of the Innovation Award demonstrate the industry's potential for innovation: These include plasma technology for utilising waste and CO₂, white lignin for cosmetics and a bio-based solution for replacing PFAS and plastic in paper packaging

Pyrolysis oil as potential alternative to naphtha in crackers / Numerous plants ready to get started / Possible approach above all for Europe, Asia / Change could further impair cost base

Investment over the last two years in the chemical recycling of plastics – and, to a lesser extent, other waste – could certainly not be described as booming. Nevertheless, the hope is that the relevant technologies – from pyrolysis and thermolysis through solvolysis to enzymatic recycling – will help to make plastics recyclable in the medium term

The Advanced Recycling Conference 2023 – Your Ultimate Guide to Cutting-Edge Recycling Solutions

With the upcoming recycling quotas set by the EU, as well as quotas for mandatory recycled content for specific products, advanced recycling reaches far beyond the plastic packaging sector In consequence, estimations foresee 55% of renewable carbon to come from recycling until 2050. Join more than 250 other participants to discuss effective solutions to handle these capacities
