Reframing Waste Sorting as Infrastructure: The Circular Economy’s Missing Link
Chemical recycling is scaling fast, but the feedstock to power it is not. Europe has announced 2.8 million tons of capacity by 2030, yet only 500 kilotons of sorted inputs exist today. Without new models to finance and expand waste sorting, billions in announced projects risk sitting idle. The solution lies in treating sorting as infrastructure—unlocking external capital, lowering costs, and securing long-term stability for the circular economy.
Case Study: Securing Plastics Feedstock for Chemical recycling
Global chemical producers and consumer brands face growing challenges in securing reliable, cost-effective plastics feedstock for chemical recycling. In this case study, we share how we supported three leading companies across Europe, the UK, and Turkey with feedstock mapping, partner screening, and business case assessments—helping them unlock access to millions of tons of PET and polyolefins for circular value chains.
