Closing the loop: How Clariant is enabling circular plastic

Clarit series and adsorbents. 
© Clariant Séval Schichtel, Sales and Business Development Manager, Ethylene, and Sebastian Lars Löscher, Business Development Manager, Purification, recently sat down with Kristina Morgan, Global Marketing Manager, Petrochemicals, at Clariant, to discuss how we’re enabling a circular economy where plastics are continuously reused rather than ending up in landfills, incinerators, or the environment. This interview explains how Clariant enables the chemical recycling process through its complementary portfolio of adsorbents and hydrogenation catalysts. These technologies work seamlessly together to valorize challenging plastic waste streams, including mixed and contaminated materials, transforming them into virgin-quality feedstocks that integrate directly into existing petrochemical plants, closing the loop and enabling a truly circular plastics economy.

In Europe, an estimated 1.6 million tonnes of carpet waste reach the end of their lives every year. According to data from Deutsche Umwelthilfe from 2017, the vast majority of it, nearly 98%, is either incinerated or sent to landfill. While the use of polyester has improved recycling rates, this improvement remains in the low single-digit percentage range. Germany alone contributes around 400,000 tonnes to this waste stream annually.
