♻️ Can chemical recycling really fix plastics?

Our analysis 𝐃𝟑.𝟑 𝐒𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐞-𝐮𝐩 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐲𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 (𝐄𝐔) looks at whether pyrolysis can scale to boost circularity and cut emissions and why high costs, unclear rules, and limited waste still hold it back.

🚀 New paper!
We built the first long-term dataset of process-related CO₂ emissions for 289 cities in China (2000–2021).
Industrial process emissions are ~13% of China’s total but often ignored.

Cities are central to China’s carbon goals. But most research misses Scope 3 emissions.
Our new work includes Scope 1, 2 and 3 giving a full view of city carbon footprints.
