• Sommario/riassunto: The book looks at all stages of the plastic value chain: Production with renewable raw materials instead of oil, waste avoidance, recycling and the necessary use of recyclates, thermal treatment for unavoidable and non-recyclable waste. Martin Faulstich To achieve our climate targets, we need climate-neutral plastics. For this purpose, the following circular raw materials are available: Recyclates, biomass, and CO2. The life cycle of plastics must not end at the factory gate, product design must consider the end of life. Plastic waste must be valued to motivate consumers to collect and sort it. André Bardow Plastic is in most cases the most climate-friendly option and, as a hidden climate champion, is an important building block in the fight against the climate crisis. Philipp Lehner The book delves into the complexities of creating a closed-loop system for plastics exploring challenges and opportunities associated with recycling, feedstock diversification, and technological advancements.
