"Chemical Recycling – A Solution for Circularity in Pharma?" by Dr. Harald KLEIN discusses the potential of chemical recycling as a complementary technology to mechanical recycling.

Why Chemical Recycling? It offers true circularity, especially for contact-sensitive packaging, and can handle materials that are not suitable for mechanical recycling

The Carboliq Process: This very robust, continuous one-stage process involves liquefaction, not pyrolysis, and produces both oils and monomers with moderate energy use.

Environmental Impact: The process saves a minimum of 2 tons of CO2 per ton of plastics converted

Industrial Pilot Plant: The pilot plant operates 24/7 with a capacity input of up to 1,000 t/a and produces liquid CLR® Circular Liquid Resource product.

Harald will present also the growth plant for the next investments.
