What to Do about Plastics? Lessons from a Study of United Kingdom Plastics Flows
1/3 of related GHG emissions could be reduced by increasing recycling capacity and reducing demand.

Researchers present seven pathways the chemical industry could follow to reach net zero by 2050.
The plastic industry is dependent on fossil fuels in various ways that result in strong “carbon lock-ins” throughout the value chain and large and growing CO2 emissions. The industry...
“The IPCC was created to provide policymakers with regular scientific assessments on climate change, its implications and potential future risks, as well as to put forward adaptation and mitigation...
To discuss detailed C-THRU research updates, further the team’s knowledge, and promote collaboration, the C-THRU researchers have been holding regular seminars where each Workstream lead has delivered a talk...
Plastic in the UK: practical and pervasive … but problematic By Jonathan Cullen, Michal Drewniok and André Cabrera Serrenho Click here to download the report (2nd revision) Plastics are ubiquitous in...
Background: GHG emissions data for the petrochemical manufacturing sector are disparate across petrochemical sectors and world regions, and existing data are frequently impossible to compare. This results from different...
Background: We need a transparent account of the whole life-cycle emissions and environmental impacts associated with plastics and petrochemicals. As emissions (and mitigation options) occur across the life-cycle, modelling...
Background: This workstream will address the system-wide response of petrochemical sub-sectors to specific actions and interventions, and the consequential GHG emissions impact. In addition, it will provide broad contextual...
