Plastic waste not sinking in the Sea makes a major "Tragedy of the Commons" visible and hopefully triggers a change to our present way of dealing with such growing waste streams.
Why is the CreaSolv® Process consistently incorrectly described instead of accepting that it is a Physical Recycling process that does not destroy polymer chains?
In their update “Waste & Packaging” (published November 12, 2019) Unilever informs also about their achievements in regard to the CreaSolv® Process for sachet recycling.
In October 2019, the Greenpeace “False Solutions Report: Throwing away the future” incorrectly classifies solvent-based purification (dissolution) as chemical recycling for plastic waste.
On September 13, 2019 the PolyStyreneLoop project was presented at the Sustainable Built Environment Conference 2019 in Graz, Austria.
Obviously there exists some confusion about what is the underlying science or principle for certain plastic recycling technologies.
The actual classification into mechanical recycling, chemical recycling and energy recovery is outdated and incomplete.
