IDTechEx Discusses the Technology Trends Driving Sustainable Polymers for a Circular Economy
Answering this demand for more sustainable plastics to support the circular economy requires innovations from all stakeholders in the polymer value chain, from the chemical suppliers to the end-users to the recyclers.
- Answering this demand for more sustainable plastics to support the circular economy requires innovations from all stakeholders in the polymer value chain, from the chemical suppliers to the end-users to the recyclers.
- Lastly, the end-of-life recycling of these plastics, through both well-established mechanical recycling and the more emerging advanced recycling , is critical to establishing a truly circular economy.
- In this article, IDTechEx considers some of the technology developments, challenges, and the outlook of the innovations affecting each part of the polymer value chain.
- IDTechEx will be hosting a free-to-attend webinar on the topic on Tuesday 21 November 2023 - Creating a Circular Economy: Emerging Sustainable Materials to Watch in 2024 .
