The Polymeric Reset: Chemical Recycling of Plastic and Textile Waste with Dr. Maurizio Crippa
Join Dr. Maurizio Crippa, Founder and Chief Scientific Officer of GR3N, for a deep dive into the chemical realities required to achieve a true circular economy. For decades, global sustainability initiatives relied on traditional mechanical recycling—a process that cuts polymer chains, degrades material quality, and inevitably results in plastic downcycling and eventual landfill disposal. Maurizio argues that to close the loop on complex human waste, we must move past these physical limitations and embrace advanced chemical recycling. Drawing from a distinguished career in materials science…
