What to Expect
Advanced recycling technologies are often touted as solving the plastic waste crisis by making hard-to-recycle plastics “infinitely circular.” But most of these technologies fall short due to hurdles like feedstock contamination, high costs, and less-than-ideal output yields that inhibit their commercialization. In recent years, a new generation of advanced recycling technology developers have emerged, promising to overcome such shortcomings. In this Ideathon, Lux will explore innovations in next-generation advanced recycling technologies, including novel catalytic routes to recycled monomers and plastics, showcasing emerging developers, their progress, and the market’s future.
As companies consider ways to improve plastic recycling rates, Lux’s Ideathon on advanced plastic recycling technologies will answer the following questions:
- What are some of the latest innovations in advanced plastic recycling technologies?
- Which technologies can address challenging waste feedstocks like postconsumer textiles and other highly contaminated plastics?
- How cost competitive are these technologies against alternatives including mechanically recycled and virgin plastics?
- What types of partnerships are needed to ensure successful development and adoption?
