Europe is looking for ways to break away from fossil dependency. In doing so, the continent overlooks a domestic raw material: waste. Waste containing plastic and biomass contains a lot of carbon. Industry urgently needs this element in order to produce without climate-damaging substances.

The transition towards a circular economy is accelerating the development of recycling technologies capable of recovering materials that remain outside conventional mechanical recycling schemes.
