Plastics lifecycle management is a central issue for the entire value chain and Total is developing some innovative and technological solutions for both feedstock and end-of-life.
The growing interest in recycling from plastic value chain stakeholders is indisputable. Plastics recycling development must accelerate in order to help prevent plastic waste landfilling. Currently, the recycling rate for plastics is significantly lower than that of other materials - such as glass, steel, aluminium, paper - and the availability of quality plastic recycling is limited. The quality of conventional recyclates generally available today limits its use to the least technically demanding applications.
Recyclates performance enhancement is required to enlarge the accessible market and to meet demands not satisfied with current materials. To do so, collaboration within the value chain is a key success factor.
