Company Profile

Chemical Recycling Europe is a non-profit organization that was created with the vision of establishing an industry platform for developing and promoting cutting-edge chemical recycling technologies for polymer waste across Europe.

The members of the association follow one common idea: closing the loop for the plastics industry by offering the technology to endlessly recycle all plastic waste back into its original components.

The association aims to deepen collaboration with the EU Institutions and develop positive industry-wide relationships throughout the whole chemical recycling value chains in Europe in order to boost specific polymer recycling.

Chemical Recycling Europe was established in 2019 to promote and implement the innovative solutions that the chemical recycling of plastic waste offers to benefit our economy and society.

Products / Technology

The members of Chemical Recycling Europe offer innovative and unique technologies to transform previously non recyclable plastic waste into new raw materials.

  • The chemical recycling allows the transformation of all types of plastic waste back into its original chemical components. By creating a new, secondary raw material that offers the same quality as virgin feed stock, chemical recycling can help to close the loop and reduce the consumption of fossil fuels.
  • By changing from virgin polymers based on fossil fuels to recycled polymers as raw materials energy can be saved and CO2 emissions reduced. This can help to further limit the CO2 footprint of plastic products.
  • The capability to treat all kinds of plastic waste gives plastic waste a new value and will help to reduce its land filling or incineration.
  • By reducing the use of fossil fuels as feed stock, decreasing CO2 emissions, and cutting down land filling, chemical recycling helps to increase the sustainability of our society and safeguard our planet.
  • Giving value to all plastic waste can play an important role in the fight against littering.
