Molecular recycling is emerging as a critical pathway for converting mixed and contaminated plastic waste into feedstocks for the chemical industry, but technical and economic viability depends on process selection, feedstock control, and product quality management. This training focuses on advanced chemical recycling routes including pyrolysis, depolymerization, gasification, and emerging catalytic and AI-optimized systems. Participants will learn how feedstock composition, contamination levels, and polymer variability influence yield, product distribution, and downstream upgrading requirements. The session examines key challenges such as energy intensity, reactor stability, char formation, and purification constraints that determine whether recycling operations become profitable or remain pilot-scale experiments. Special attention is given to techno-economic considerations, integration with existing refinery or chemical assets, and strategies for producing high-value chemicals, fuels, or circular polymer feedstocks. Regulatory drivers, ESG expectations, and realistic circular economy claims are addressed from a commercial feasibility perspective. Training is designed for professionals evaluating molecular recycling as a strategic technology and provides practical decision frameworks to move from sustainability ambition to industrial implementation.
Discover how molecular recycling can revolutionize your operations, meet sustainability targets, and drive profitability. Attend this training and you will;
1. Understand where molecular recycling is truly economically viable: Learn the yield, energy, and purity thresholds that determine commercial success.
2. Manage feedstock variability without destroying process stability: Identify contamination, polymer mix, and sorting limits that impact product quality.
3. Avoid scale-up failures seen in many pilot-to-plant transitions: Understand reactor fouling, char formation, and thermal control risks.
4. Identify the most profitable product pathways, not just technical outputs: Compare fuels, monomers, and chemical intermediates based on real market value.
5. Evaluate technology options with decision-grade criteria: Assess pyrolysis, depolymerization, and gasification based on integration and ROI.
