At this point, most industry stakeholders have heard the statistic: Just 8.7% of plastic in America is recycled, according to the U.S. EPA. One of the reasons for this low number is the diversity of polymers and difficult-to-re-cycle applications, such as flexible films, which pose challenges for conventional mechanical recycling technology. Chemical recycling, or advanced recycling, refers to a range of processes that can complement mechanical recycling to increase the overall recycling rate of plastic and help address circularity for flexible films and more.
