…recycling of plastics, via plastic pyrolysis, and other existing and next-generation recycling technologies. For more on our outlook for polymers, please see our overview of plastics in the energy transition….
…review of Agilyx’s plastic recycling technology. Based on its patents, we infer that Agilyx has developed an intriguing and novel approach to plastic recycling. We think it uses a large…
This data-file assesses the outlook for 30 plastic recycling companies, including next-generation plastic recycling or pyrolysis. This group is operating (or constructing) 100 plants around the world, which use chemical…
…Plastic recycling. We also see potential for plastic-recycling technologies to displace 8-15Mbpd of potential oil demand growth (i.e., naphtha, LPGs and ethane) by 2060, compared to a business-as-usual scenario of…
…will produce 40kTpa, costing €100M to construct, starting up in 2025, and saving 48kTpa of CO2. We believe economics could be extremely exciting, compared to conventional plastics and ethane cracking….
…different extrusion methodologies. The file also includes a summary of TOTAL’s plastic recycling patents. Overall it should be possible to uplift plastic recycling margins by $50-100/ton. We remain most excited,…
A global overview of recycling is laid out in numbers in this data-file, covering steel, paper, glass, plastics such as PET and HDPE and other metals, such as copper and…
Alterra Energy built the US’s first larger-scale plastic pyrolysis facility, in Akron, Ohio, and has steadily been refining its plastic recycling technology. The company recently signed license agreements with Neste…
…by 50% and cost less than virgin plastic. But only c25% of plastic is well-suited to mechanical recycling. All of our recycling research is linked here. Next-generation plastic recycling is…
…ten years of polymer pricing history and on our broader model of mechanical plastic recycling. What economics for polyester methanolysis? IRRs, margins and total EBITDA for Eastman’s molecular recycling technology,…
