To solve the environmental pollution problems caused by waste plastics and to reduce CO₂ emissions and eliminate fossil resources in the chemical industry, it is necessary that societies focus on both, recycling and switching to alternative resources.

This session introduces strategic initiatives for the recycling of difficult-to-recycle plastics through chemical recycling, utilization of plant resources (such as bioplastics) and recycling of CO₂ emissions. This session also presents a path forward for the plastic supply chain, towards 2050.
