When Conventional Recycling Isn't Enough
Om avsnittet
Our series with Plastics Europe Germany takes on another key question for the future of plastics: What happens when conventional recycling isn't enough?
In this episode, we sit down with Marcel Beermann, CEO of ARCUS GreencyclingTechnologies, to explore the role chemical recycling can play in tackling mixed and difficult-to-recycle plastic waste — and what it takes to turn these waste streams back into valuable resources.
We discuss:
Why mechanical and chemical recycling can complement each other, rather than compete
How mixed plastic waste can be converted into pyrolysis oil and used again as feedstock for new plastics
What it takes to scale chemical recycling from technology to industrial reality
Why regulation and market demand will be critical to creating a viable circular economy
How making better use of our own plastic waste can strengthen Europe’s resource resilience and industrial competitiveness
One thing becomes clear: Europe already has a significant resource in its plastic waste. The question is how we make better use of it.
