10 Sep 2024 --- Schneider Electric, a French energy management and automation specialist, has partnered with Gr3n, a PET chemical recycler, to create the “world’s first open automation system” for advanced plastic recycling. Gr3n developed Made, a microwave-assisted depolymerization solution. This new process breaks down PET into its chemical building blocks that can be recombined to create new PET pellets with “virgin-like” quality for packaging and textiles, effectively closing the loop for hard-to-recycle plastic.
