On November 12, 2019, non-governmental organization Zero Waste Europe will host a webinar titled “Chemical recycling: what it is and does it fit into the Circular Economy?” at 2:00pm Central European Time. The webinar aims to address the following questions: What is chemical recycling? What are the techniques considered as chemical recycling? Is it really recycling? The presentations also aim to offer a comparative analysis with mechanical recycling, investigate the current state of the technology, and review current policies and potential changes. Speakers will include Joan Marc Simon, Executive Director at Zero Waste Europe; Carlos Monreal, CEO at Plastic Energy; and Rozalina Petrova, Waste Policy Officer at DG Environment.
Registration for the webinar is open. In August 2019, Zero Waste Europe published a report investigating the current state of chemical recycling and associated challenges (FPF reported).
