ICIS Shaping tomorrow together

An Introduction to Chemical Recycling

Virtual: 3rd & 5th November 2025 | Start Time: 8:00 AM New York / 1:00 PM London / 5:00 PM Dubai

Course overview

Chemical recycling is an umbrella term for a range of processes that revert waste to an earlier molecular state. Unlike mechanical recycling, chemical recycling alters a material’s fundamental chemical properties.

Chemical recycling can potentially use waste inputs that are challenging or impossible to recycle using traditional methods. It can also create reprocessed material with properties similar to virgin plastic. As a result it is seen as a critical emerging technology that could enhance the circularity of material – especially plastics – significantly increase recycling rates, and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. 

Despite its potential, the industry faces significant challenges, including scaling up technologies, securing a steady supply of suitable waste, and navigating complex regulatory landscapes. Over the past few years, chemical recycling has gained attention from industry stakeholders, investors, and governments as a critical solution for meeting ambitious recycled content targets, and is seen by many as the only viable solution to meet mass-scale food-contact recycled polyolefins – especially in Europe.

However, the sector is still in its early stages, with ongoing developments in technology, infrastructure, and market dynamics shaping its trajectory.
