One of the world’s most pressing priorities is to adopt an eco–friendly circular economy that facilitates efficient and sustainable use of limited resources. In response, Hanwha is taking the lead in building a plastics circular economy ecosystem that dramatically reduces carbon emissions by developing chemical recycling technology that breathes new life into used plastics. Hanwha Solutions Chemical Division’s Plastics–to–Chemical technology, in particular, is a new eco–friendly solution that enables continuous recycling of plastics by extracting naphtha from waste plastics and reproducing them into basic raw materials through core catalysts and process technologies.
