What Now?
Plastic production and packaging complexity have increased substantially over the past few decades, while traditional recycling capabilities have failed to keep up. he current model that relies only on mechanical recycling is unsustainable, and we have no choice but to improve our plastic waste disposal, collection and recycling methods. Under current technologies, many of the plastics we producer are “unrecyclable,” but these plastics are critical to our food and medical industries. As a plastics upcycler that uses advanced technology to process the vast majority of plastics, we are helping to address the global plastic waste crisis by repurposing these “unrecyclable” plastic wastes into a crude oil substitute rather than throwing them away.
