Enabling a circular economy for plastics: Life Cycle Assessment of Chemically Recycled Polyamide Multi-layer Packaging

Recycling technologies should aim to retain as much value in the material as possible, in line with the principles of the circular economy. Chemical recycling represents a technology with high potential to contribute to solving...

Evaluating sustainability: Variations of LCA for chemical recycling

Undeniably, plastics have brought us enormous societal benefits owing to their versatility, lightweight, durability and low costs. However, production and recycling also bring challenges, e.g., only 10 % of plastic waste is recycled globally. To...

Life Cycle Assessment of Eastman’s Molecular Recycling Process: Methanolysis

Session 03: Life Cycle Innovation in the Chemical Sector
Eastman’s methanolysis technology is a type of material-to-material molecular recycling that enables a diverse variety of difficult-to-recycle waste polyesters to be unzipped (depolymerized) into their constituent monomers. Eastman commissioned Quantis to complete a cradle-to-gate life...

LCA of Circular Systems – Use case chemical recycling

Session 03: Life Cycle Innovation in the Chemical Sector
Significant amounts of mixed plastic waste (MPW) currently end up in incineration plants and landfills. It is important that such waste be managed appropriately in line with circular economy principles. One emerging option for managing...
