Director General of the BPF, Philip Law, said:“The BPF is delighted to host this forthcoming webinar on Chemical Recycling with PlasticsEurope. There is a great need to recycle more to advance towards the objective of a circular economy. Alongside Mechanical Recycling, Chemical recycling, will be an essential tool in creating value out of waste fractions which have so far proven difficult to recycle.”
