Sustainability<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Acting sustainably means securing the future<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

We are becoming increasingly aware that our current way of life is pushing up against the planet\u2019s limits. If we want to leave behind a livable environment for future generations, we need to change our behavior today.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

carboliq technology makes a vital contribution to this effort by converting waste plastic into usable raw materials \u2013 avoiding environmentally harmful incineration. If these recovered raw materials are used to produce new plastics, the need for energy-intensive extraction of fossil-based resources is also eliminated.Liquefying just one metric ton of plastic waste in this way can save up to five tons of CO\u2082. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The handling of plastic waste is a global issue. Only in recent years have manufacturers begun to seriously consider what happens to their products at the end of their life cycle. Addressing this problem requires Design for Recycling (DfR) principles, along with efficient collection systems and appropriate recycling processes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The carboliq process is ideally suited to handling mixed and contaminated plastic waste. It is specifically designed for processing post-consumer plastics \u2013 and gives these materials new value. In the medium term, the carboliq process has the potential to significantly reduce plastic pollution in the environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mechanical recycling\u2014the direct route to a closed-loop system<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the mechanical recycling process, plastics are processed into recyclate using purely physical methods, such as sorting, washing, density separation, melting, and filtering. However, this approach has its limitations: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
