Excerpt: That new technology would be what they are calling chemical recycling, where plastics are cooked and processed to turn them back into feedstocks, essentially turning them back into fossil fuels and petrochemicals. And as I noted previously:

"Chemical recycling, at least as is happening now, is just an elaborate and expensive version of waste-to-energy. There is no point, other than it makes waste disappear. Given the amount of CO2 it generates, from a climate point of view, we would be better off just burying it, and we are not going back there. The only real way to deal with this is to stop making so much of the stuff in the first place, to reuse and to refill, and to go truly circular."
