Plastics are essential to modern life, keeping our food fresh, our vehicles light, and our medicines sterile. However, most plastics currently follow a linear lifecycle, in which they are produced, often used once, and then discarded—typically ending up in landfills or incinerated. A circular economy addresses this by keeping materials in use longer and reducing waste and emissions. While most recycling today is mechanical, chemical recycling like ReOil® is an essential complement that offers several unique advantages. At OMV, we’re leading the way to renewable and circular chemicals and materials that make sustainable life possible.
