How can advanced recycling ♻️ technologies drive circularity in the chemical industry 🕵️♂️? At LyondellBasell’s Wesseling site, Interim Site Manager Stephan Staneder introduces the groundbreaking MoReTec-1 project: an advanced recycling initiative that transforms plastic waste into new, high-quality plastics. In this episode, the Cefic team explores: 🔄 How MoReTec technology breaks down plastic waste at the molecular level 💡 The benefits of MoReTec-1 in reducing reliance on virgin fossil resources 🏗️ The challenges and successes of implementing this pioneering technology ♻️The role of advanced recycling in shaping a circular economy in Europe As the European #chemicalindustry moves towards climate neutrality and circularity, innovations like MoReTec-1 are key to transforming industrial processes and cutting plastic waste that would otherwise go to landfill or incineration 🗑️. The first three episodes are out now!

Told through the eyes of those working onsite—from site managers to engineers and sustainability experts—these stories offer real-world insights into the ambitions, challenges, and innovations shaping the industry’s transformation.
An interesting watch on Global Recycling Day! The silicone industry is also striving to transform the waste product back into a valuable resource. Depolymerisation for example not only enables circularity in silicone waste streams, it also significantly reduces CO2 emissions and energy consumption which occur mostly during the mining of silicone metal.
Nice series. Successful project for our colleagues from Lyondell Basell at Wesseling site.
We are all so proud of the first commercial MoReTec under construction in our Cologne hub !
