Comprehensive Analytics and Insight for the Linear to Circular Transition of the Plastics Value Chain.
The plastics industry’s transition to a circular ecosystem is at a critical stage, and global headwinds abound. Decarbonization, energy transition, evolving regulations, rapid technological advancements, and shifting consumer preferences all contribute to disruptions throughout the value chain. Successfully implementing actionable strategies requires an in-depth understanding of the complexities of an evolving industry.
The Circular Plastics Service can help.
Moving to a Circular Economy for Plastics
Industry participants across the plastics value chain struggle to transition away from the ‘produce, use and dispose’ linear model that has produced massive quantities of plastic waste. Companies now strive to design and use products and packaging to extract maximum value by keeping materials in use as long as possible and recovering and regenerating valuable materials at each end of use.
This transition is particularly complex amidst the broad, long-term energy transition shifts and the near-term ebb and flow of the plastics industry business cycle. It raises the plastics demand risk profile and challenges balancing emissions with the structural changes needed for a successful transition.
