| Résumé : |
If plastics demand follows its current trajectory, global plastics-waste volumes would grow from 260 million tons/year in 2016 to 460 million tons/ year by 2030, taking what is already a serious environmental problem to a whole new level. As much as 500/0 of plastics worldwide could be reused or recycled by 2030 — a 4-fold increase over what is achieved today — and that also has the potential to create substantial value. Following that path, plastics reuse and recycling could generate profit-pool growth of as much as US$ 60 billion for the petrochemicals and plastics sector. For petro-chemicals and plastics companies — and by extension the chemical indus-try, since plastics production accounts for well over one-third of the indus-try's activities — this presents an array of threats and opportunities. |
