15 Jun 2021 --- A European project called Life Ecomethylal has developed a modular chemical recycling system capable of converting 1 kg of non-recyclable waste into 0.5 kg of methylal, a substance used as a solvent and raw material to produce new plastics. Under Spanish plastic technology company Aimplas’ coordination, the project uses a “highly profitable” technology called Catalytic HydroGasification with Plasma (CHGP) to create methylal.
