Molecular recycling of plastics focuses on converting waste materials back into chemical building blocks rather than simply reprocessing them. This approach enables plastics to be transformed into feedstocks that can be used for new materials, fuels, or chemical products.
In practice, technologies such as depolymerization and thermal conversion are used to break down complex polymer structures into smaller molecules. The effectiveness of these processes depends on feedstock composition, reaction conditions, and how the resulting products are integrated into downstream chemical systems.
Today, molecular recycling is emerging as a critical pathway for converting mixed and contaminated plastic waste into feedstocks for the chemical industry, but technical and economic viability depends on process selection, feedstock control, and product quality management. This training focuses on advanced chemical recycling routes including pyrolysis, depolymerization, gasification, and emerging catalytic and AI-optimized systems.
Why Attend This Training?
By participating in this program, you will:
- Understand where molecular recycling is truly economically viable: Learn the yield, energy, and purity thresholds that determine commercial success.
