Global Challenge… in Need of….. Circular Solutions…. Imagine this: of the 400 million metric tons of plastic produced each year, up to 160 million tons are mismanaged—ending up in landfills, burned, or worse, polluting the world. We have a choice! Advanced chemical recycling can transform this waste into high-quality, virgin-like plastic, driving a true circular economy where plastics become a renewable resource instead of a one-way ticket to environmental damage. But with global recycling rates stuck around 9%, it’s clear we need to act. Here my thoughts: 👉Better infrastructure 👉investment in new technologies 👉innovative thinking Those are the essentials to turn around toward circularity. ☝️How do you see the industry evolving to address this challenge? ✍️Share your thoughts! #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #PlasticRecycling #WasteManagement #FutureOfPlastics #FollowUsBeyond

Absolutely agree! Innovative technologies play an important role in regards to circular economy. However, in my opinion it’s crucial not just to focus on recycling but especially on reducing in the very first step. 🙏🏼

Und wie gesagt, weg von Ein- zu Mehrweg-Verpackungen ...
