Plastics • Although demand for recycled plastics is growing rapidly, in 2018 recycled plastic accounted for only 6% of plastic demand in Europe. Source: European Parliament • Only a limited range of plastics such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) can be currently recycled back to new products • Technologies that deconstruct waste plastics into the basic building blocks to make new plastics are being deployed, which may bring circularity to a broad family of plastics. However, technologies to produce inputs for plastics from end-of-life material are currently energy intensive and very expensive relative to the cost of deriving them from fossil fuels.
Cement • Today there is no effective way to recycle cement at its end of life. • It can be downcycled to use in aggregate mix. • There are technologies in development to attempt to recycle cement from end-of- life concrete, but these technologies are today at small scale and are at very high cost.
