The concept of a circular economy, which emphasizes the reuse, recycling, and regeneration of materials, is gaining momentum worldwide. Industries are moving towards circular business models to minimize waste and maximize resource efficiency. Circular polymers play a crucial role in these efforts because they enable closed recycling of plastics, reducing dependence on new materials and reducing environmental impact.
For example, in May 2024, Dow and Free Point Eco-Systems Supply and Trading LLC agreed to approximately 65,000 tons per year of certified round plastic waste pyrolysis oil. It is used at Dow's US Gulf Coast facilities to produce new high-quality equivalent plastics.
