In this talk, Pieter Billen from UAntwerp highlights the technological prospects of (thermo)chemical recycling of predominantly polyolefins (PE and PP) which are widely used in packaging. Smart molecule management, not restricted to a single value chain, requires collaborative innovation, yet transforms our way of managing materials. Next to a technology overview, a glimpse is provided on predicting “recyclability” quantitatively and more universally, as a guide to designers and consumers.
