Chemical Recycling in Asia: Opportunities and Challenges
Asia is the leader in polymer production and consumer of plastics, and Asian countries top the list of contributors to global marine plastic pollution. How can chemical recycling help to address the problem of plastic waste pollution at the same time as setting the plastic industry in Asia on a more sustainable footing? Plastic Energy has been exploring opportunities to develop chemical recycling projects across Asia in both developed and emerging economies for the past several years. Ying Staton, Chief Sustainability Officer and VP for Asia at Plastic Energy will share some of the experiences from this process including the opportunities and challenges the industry faces.
