2G has developed and patented a chemical recycling technology that transforms plastic waste that until now was not recyclable into raw material for remanufacturing plastic.
Main advantages of chemical recycling of plastics
Material recovery of plastic waste
By recovering plastics that until now were going to landfill, they are reintroduced into the productive market in a clear example of circular economy. Catalonia.
Energy savings and lower emissions
Chemical recycling consumes less energy than the production of materials from virgin raw materials, which reduces greenhouse gas emissions and contributes to climate change mitigation.
Innovation, technology and social return
Chemical recycling is a new process that requires innovation and technology development for its implementation. This undoubtedly drives the creation of new jobs and economic opportunities in the waste management sector.
Closing the materials cycle
Chemical recycling makes it possible to recover low-quality plastics and non-recyclable plastic waste, converting them into pyrolytic oil suitable for manufacturing plastics again.
