At present, innovation in recycling technology is constantly developing to solve the global problem of plastic waste. However, there is always a problem, which is the limited availability of high-quality and recyclable raw materials. As the chemical industry attempts to deal with plastic waste, pollution has become a concern, such as materials with coatings or films, or materials that have been painted, printed, or colored. Due to the inability of traditional recycling techniques to handle highly polluted raw materials, most of these materials are discarded into landfills or incinerated.

On 28th June 2024, the European Commission officially published the Eco-design for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), which will come into force on 18th July 2024 and will replace the existing Eco-design Directive (2009/125/EC). ESPR will replace the existing Eco-design Directive (2009/125/EC) and become an important tool to promote the EU's circular economy, aiming to make sustainable products the norm in the market. By 2027, the requirements of the regulation will be mandatory for products sold in the EU, including goods produced outside the EU.

As one of the top ten countries in the world that produce and consume plastic products, China's aquatic ecosystem is severely affected by microplastics. Currently, microplastics are widely detected in oceans, freshwater, and wastewater treatment plants. Among them, the main types of microplastics include polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET).marine environment.

In the past 20 years, scientists have significantly increased the amount of microbial genomes collected from the ocean, which can help address major challenges such as antibiotic shortages, plastic pollution solutions, and genome editing. However, it has always been difficult to apply microbial genome information to biotechnology and medicine.

Considering the climate crisis and global plastic pollution, many people believe that recycling materials, especially plastics, is the solution to plastic pollution. Recycling can reduce resource usage, prevent waste, and decrease carbon dioxide emissions. It is an important foundation of circular economy. The recycling of some materials is relatively simple, but the recycling of plastics involves complex target conflicts.

The universally recognised recycling symbol can be found on plastic products in many countries--three chasing arrows that go round and round, chasing each other. But not all plastic products with this symbol can be easily recycled. In fact, despite the fact that plastic recycling technology has been around for decades, most of today's plastic waste, still ends up in landfills.

As consumers demand for packaging convenience and food safety continues to grow, many tea beverage brands in the market are choosing to add oxygen absorbers to PET bottles to extend the shelf life of their products and improve oxygen barrier properties. However, this additive becomes a major challenge during the recycling process. The presence of oxygen absorbers makes the bottles prone to yellowing when dried at high temperatures, which not only affects the quality of the recycled material, but may also lead to downgrading of the whole batch of recycled material.

In many countries, widely recognized recycling logos can be found on plastic products - three chasing arrows that constantly cycle and chase each other. But not all plastic products with this symbol can be easily recycled. In fact, although plastic recycling technology has existed for decades, most of today's plastic waste still ends up in landfills.

Honeywell' s UpCycle technology broadens the types of recyclable plastics and converts waste plastics into raw materials for the production of new plastics, helping to reduce fossil fuel consumption in the process of manufacturing virgin plastics, thereby reducing the carbon footprint and enabling digital hundreds or thousands of recycling cycles, promoting the realization of a plastic circular economy.
