Circular Economy


Key to the EU’s Circular Economy
Chemical Recycling
Chemical recycling is essential for a the circular economy, allowing even the most challenging waste to be converted into valuable raw materials. This approach reduces waste, decreases natural resource consumption, and supports the fight against climate change. As an advanced technology, chemical recycling plays a vital role in creating a future based on a circular economic model, where nothing goes to waste and every material can have a second life.




Where Does the Problem Lie?
Recycling of Mixed Plastic Waste
To date, companies have only collected well-sorted waste from municipal sorting facilities, as only these could be used in mechanical recycling. Municipal facilities sort plastic waste into various types—the most common being PE, PP, and PS. These are the plastics collected in yellow bags in many Polish households as part of selective collection.
Unfortunately, the sorting process generates residual waste in the form of mixed plastics. Based on data from Poland’s Central Statistical Office (GUS) and the Ministry of Climate and Environment, it is estimated that Poland produces 1.8 million tons of mixed plastic waste annually. This is a global issue, with chemical recycling being the only viable solution.
Currently, in Poland, mixed plastic waste, after being prepared into so-called PRE-RDF, is either sent to waste incinerators, fuels cement kilns, or, worse, is deposited in landfills. REDCHEM will put an end to this approach contravening EU’s Waste Hierarchy.

ISCC+ Certification
At REDCHEM, we will process only waste materials certified under the ISCC+ certification.
The ISCC+ (International Sustainability & Carbon Certification) is an international standard that confirms compliance with sustainability criteria and supports the circular economy.
