Advanced Recycling Technologies

Advanced Recycling Technologies (ART) refer to innovative processes that break down complex or hard-to-recycle materials—such as mixed plastics, composites, and contaminated waste—into their basic chemical building blocks. Unlike traditional mechanical recycling, which simply melts and reshapes materials, ART uses methods like pyrolysis, gasification, and depolymerization to create high-quality raw materials that can be reused in manufacturing. These technologies help reduce landfill waste, conserve natural resources, and support a more circular, sustainable economy
