Beyond Plastics-to-Plastics to Waste-to-Products: Opportunities for Closing the Carbon Cycle via Chemical Recycling
The plastic crisis is a key driver for chemical recycling (CR), with focus placed on plastics circularity via Plastics‐to‐Plastics. This neglects its potential in enabling circularity for a wide range of carbon‐containing waste and hinders a critical discussion of its broader contributions to decarbonizing the chemical sector. To address this gap, four CR routes and their integration in the conventional waste treatment and chemical production value chains are briefly reviewed, and reasons proposed for a focus expansion to Waste‐to‐Products to realize opportunities for closing the carbon cycle via chemical recycling.
