There is fresh momentum and accelerated expansion in chemical recycling, according to Andreas Teir, head of chemical recycling at Neste. Packaging Insights sat down with Teir at the Plastics Recycling Show Europe (PRSE) in the Netherlands this week to discuss recent developments in chemical recycling, the regulatory landscape, and the “complementary nature” of mechanical and chemical recycling. “There is more and more interest in chemical recycling — there are plenty of projects around, and I expect a lot to be happening in the near future,” says Teir.
