As of 2018, globally over 260 million tons of plastic waste are generated each year, yet only around 12% is recycled into new products. The majority of plastic that cannot be recycled economically or technically often ends up incinerated, contributing to additional carbon dioxide emissions. Current recycling solutions fail to capture these hard-to-recycle plastics, leaving a significant gap in the circular economy.
The solution
SemperCycle transforms non-recyclable plastic waste fractions into a liquid chemical feedstock that can be used to produce new plastics. By converting plastic that would otherwise be incinerated, their technology diverts waste, closes the loop, and reduces carbon dioxide emissions, enabling a truly low-carbon, circular economy for plastics.
