Plastic is a key material used in the industrial sector but only 32% of plastic waste is currently recycled. This fact demonstrates the need for improving technologies, practices and systems towards the creation of true circularity and resource efficiency.
To this purpose, some of the main actors* of the Multicycle project will meet at the ‘Circular Future of Plastics’ stakeholders’ events in Fraunhofer IVV, Freising, Germany next 26th February.
During two sessions they will analyse the state-of-the-art plastic recycling and reuse technologies proposed by Multicycle considering the social and socio-economic impact that involves shifting from a linear to a circular consumption model evaluating the impacts of new material flow on environment, economy and society.
This meeting will evaluate the impacts of new material flow on the environment, economy and society considering the developed value chain network to identify new business opportunities for future investments.
