Description
Chemical recycling has emerged as a class of promising technologies that are directed towards achieving infinite recycling of plastic waste and biomass. To achieve the global sustainability target of nearly 80% plastics recycled by 2050, a plastic economy that integrates both chemical recycling and mechanical recycling is required. This indicates some new business opportunities for manufacturers, processors and other industry players. For this s thorough understanding of what chemical recycling is becomes important. In this course, you will learn the different types of chemical recycling and the different unit operations involved in the different types of chemical recycling technologies. You will also get some insight into the current chemical recycling industry.
