Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: Principle No. 1 for Building a Circular Economy - Seite 3

Molecular recycling is not meant to replace mechanical recycling but instead help it fully address the plastic waste crisis. Together, they offer real hope for a more circular world. While mechanical is the most efficient recycling method right now, molecular recycling means plastic doesn't have to be landfill bound. If it is recovered in the recycling system, all plastics - even currently hard-to-recycle plastics - will become inputs for new products and packaging. This can help us reduce our dependency on fossil-based feedstocks.

"Reduce, reuse, recycle" is an ethically sound foundation for material use, product design and life cycle management. We need companies to put the concept into practice. We need legislation that allows for innovation in advanced recycling and policy and funding for infrastructure that encourages implementation of strategic collection for reuse and recycling.

With strong legislative and corporate commitment, we can foster innovation around advanced recycling to make a more circular future for the materials industry. But "reduce, reuse, recycle" is only the beginning.

Keep reading to learn why material-to-material recycling is integral to creating a circular economy that creates value from material waste.
