Funded project – Chemical recycling feasibility study
Funding to support Qenos to deliver a feasibility study assessing the viability of establishing a chemical recycling facility of residual plastics back into the raw ingredient for circular plastic manufacturing.
Background
Reports led by government research organisations including the CSIRO show that Advanced Chemical Recycling (ACR) is the most economically viable solution for recycling soft plastics back into food grade plastics.
This study included identifying required plastic feedstocks (household soft plastic and mixed plastics) to be reprocessed for use by Qenos in their existing manufacturing facilities to produce circular plastics. It also investigated suitable waste management and technology partners before proceeding to a full engineering and costing study suitable for financial investment decision.
