Shifting plastics from a linear life-cycle (endingas waste) to a circular cycle (re-use) is key to achieving a growing set of sustainabilityand waste plastic goals.

Of this,89% comprised energy-related CO2 emissions, either directly via power generation, heating, or transport,or indirectly as a result of industrial processes. IHSM notes that base chemicalsemissions are 10% of global CO2 emissions, and plastics portion of this is lessthan half of that.Figure 2: Global CO2 emissions breakdown (bil tons, 2016)Bil MTs% of totalPower generation12.032%Tran
