Eastman says its recycling technology can turn colored and opaque products into clear polymers.
Eastman Chemical has struck a deal with Interzero Plastics Recycling to receive up to 20,000 metric tons (t) per year of hard-to-recycle polyethylene terephthalate (PET) household waste. Eastman will break down the PET and turn it into new polymers at a previously announced 160,000 t chemical recycling facility in Normandy, France. Eastman says the plant will be the largest of its kind in the world when it opens in 2025.
