the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology has started building a pilot plastic waste processing plant in Netherlands in a step towards a goal of scaling its process system up to a commercial scale. While MoReTec is based on chemical recycling, it also includes a proprietary catalyst-based approach. In collaboration with LyondellBasell Industries , the Italy -based company’s Rotterdam process uses a catalyst to accelerate the molecular breakdown of the waste during pyrolysis beyond the speed of conventional recycling processes. The company wants to tackle waste that is difficult to process, including multi-layered films, and turn it into feedstock for new products.
