Promotion of Chemical Recycling, in addition to Material Recycling Significant improvement in the plastic recycling rate is required worldwide*. It is required to promote Chemical Recycling that can be applied to waste plastic which is difficult to recycle, such as “mixed plastic” and “contaminated plastic”.

Hydrogen Production • Comparison between hydrogen production from plastic waste and natural gas.

• CA-GREET3.0 was followed for the assessment.

• For both cases, CO2 emission caused by incineration of plastic waste is subtracted.
