Summary

ELECTRO aims to create a sustainable solution for converting plastic waste into valuable chemicals by integrating innovative technologies. It focuses on recycling non-recyclable plastics through advanced pyrolysis and electrified steam cracking, significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the process.

Objective

The overall objective of ELECTRO is to demonstrate a revolutionary technology concept that links the waste and petrochemical industry and provides them with a sustainable, low GHG footprint and scalable circular solution for olefin and polyolefin production.

The priority for ELECTRO is the plastic waste streams that are currently not recycled but rather either incinerated or dumped to landfill: examples are multilayer plastics, mixed PE/PP/PS, and waste PS.
