Finnish industry and research join forces to develop an industrial chemical recycling concept for plastic waste
The recycling rate of plastic waste is today far too low. Mechanical recycling alone will hardly meet the plastics recycling targets set in EU and national legislation. Industrially feasible chemical recycling processes capable to utilize mixed plastic waste are needed to divert plastics away from waste incineration and the environment causing carbon dioxide emissions and littering. UrbanMill co-innovation project is developing enabling technologies to utilise highly mixed plastic waste as feedstock for chemical recycling producing high quality plastic materials complementing current recycled
