Advanced Plastics Recycling (Chemical)
Breaking down polymers to monomers or fuels via pyrolysis and depolymerization.

Advanced or chemical recycling technologies use pyrolysis, gasification, or catalytic depolymerization to break mixed plastic waste back into monomers, naphtha, or syngas. Unlike mechanical recycling, these processes handle contaminated and multi-layer plastics, producing virgin-quality feedstocks and closing the loop on petrochemical value chains.
