To meet the EU’s ambitious circular economy and climate goals, plastic recycling must go beyond a one-size-fits-all solution. Different plastic waste streams require different technologies—ranging from biobased synthesis and chemical upcycling to advanced data-driven optimization of thermal processes.

This webinar features André Heeres (Hanze), Jarno de Witte (Hanze) and Chenyu Zhou (MNEXT/Avans), who share  complementary perspectives on how innovation across the value chain is essential to address the diversity of plastic waste streams and to accelerate the EU’s transition to a circular plastics economy.
