SUMMARY:Forum Chemical Recycling: Overcoming Barriers
DESCRIPTION:Forum Chemical Recycling: Overcoming Barriers\n\nChemical recycling is emerging as a transformative solution for managing plastic waste\, complementing traditional mechanical methods and addressing limitations in recycling complex or contaminated materials. By breaking down polymers into molecular components\, it enables the production of virgin-quality feedstocks\, reduces reliance on fossil resources\, and supports circular economy goals. \n  \nAbout Chemical Recycling\n\nThe forum is geared to present case studies\, discuss economic and ecological feasibility\, and promote networking in order to encourage the industry to create value from currently unutilized waste streams. \nObjectives of the Forum \n\ndemonstrate economic feasibility and environmental benefits\npresent and discuss case studies and success stories\nenable the industry to create value from currently undervalued waste streams\npromote knowledge\, networks\, and R&D projects\nenhance circularity and climate protection by reducing waste and CO2 emissions\n\nAGENDA\n08.30 h     Welcome coffee \n09.00 h     Kick-off                  Introduction by OST\, FHNW\, Empa \n                  Welcome address by INOS KTN\,                   KUNSTSTOFFE.swiss\, InnoRecycling \n09.30 h     Unlocking the potential of chemical recycling                   Irina Yarulina\, Sulzer Chemtech   \n10.00 h     Chemical recycling – technology overview\,                  state-of-play and relevancy to the Swiss market                   Thomas Blocher\, BUSS ChemTech AG \n10.30 h     Coffee break \n11.00 h     Update on PET depolymerization                  Pelin Uran\, DePoly \n11.20 h     Value creation from waste tire pyrolysis                   Ralf Schwarz\, Pyrum Innovation  \n11.40 h     Life cycle assessment of chemical recycling                  Jonas Karg\, Sphera \n12.00 h     Lunch/networking  \n13.30 h     Low-regret climate change impacts for                  polyurethane waste supply chains in Germany                   Martin Pillich\, ETHZ  \n14.00 h     Parallel workshops \n15.00 h     Coffee break  \n15.30 h     Recycling polyols from PU/PIR waste                  Marco Werth\, RAMPF Advanced Polymers \n15.50 h     High-quality pyrolysis oil from mixed plastics                   Albert Paparo\, ENESPA AG  \n16.10 h    Fate of additives & contaminants                   in chemical recycling of plastic                 JB Michel\, Humana Consulting  \n16.30 h     Wrap up & discussion  \n17.00 h     Apéro \n  \nMore Informations: 2025_OST_Programme_Forum_Chemical-Recycling-1 \n												Date & Time \n\nWednesday\, Octobre 29th\, 202509.00 – 17.00 h\, Apéro afterwards\n1-day workshop\, in-person; streaming will be available\ntarget audience: polymer processing and recycling companies\, research​\, startups​\, interest groups\n\n												Location \n\nSwitzerland Innovation Park OstLerchenfeldstrasse 3 9014 St.Gallen\nstreaming will be available\n\n												Fee \n\nCHF 139\n(CHF 39 for online participation)\n\n												Speakers & Topics \nConfirmed speakers  \n\nIrina Yarulina\, Sulzer Chemtech: Unlocking the potential of chemical recycling\nHendrik Rasch\, Evonik: Collaboration for a circular economy\nPelin Uran\, DePoly: Update on PET depolymerization\nRalf Schwarz\, Pyrum Innovation: Value creation from waste tire pyrolysis\nJonas Karg\, Sphera: Life cycle assessment of chemical recycling\nMartin Pillich\, ETHZ: Low-regret climate change impacts for polyurethane waste supply chains in Germany\nMarco Werth\, RAMPF Advanced Polymers: Recycling polyols from PU/PIR waste\nAlbert Paparo\, ENESPA AG: High-quality pyrolysis oil from mixed plastics\nJB Michel\, Humana Consulting: Plastic to chemicals projects in Europe\nParallel workshops & discussion\n\nTopics \n\nEconomic assessment of chemical recycling\nEnvironmental evaluation\, LCAs\, circularity and climate impact\nCase studies\, R&D projects\, pilot plants\, success stories\nExperience outside Switzerland\, waste and product flows \n\nPartner\n															\n																\n															\n																\n															\n																\n															\n																\n															\n																														 \nOrganisers\n																\n															\n															\n															\n																\n															 \nLooking forward to your registration! \nAny questions?
