Critically reviewed Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) study of advanced recycling process with independent verification​

Dow is committed to expanding advanced recycling capacity globally and enabling greater supply of recycled plastic content to customers and brands across the globe. ​

We have conducted a critically reviewed, ISO-compliant life cycle assessment (LCA) for the environmental impact of advanced recycling based on a plastic pyrolysis process. This study is intended to assess potential benefits and tradeoffs of the advanced recycling technology compared to conventional routes, while highlighting future investment  and improvement opportunities.​

Based on the independent verification, the study was determined to be in conformance with ISO 14040, 14044, and 14071 standards. The plausibility, quality, and accuracy of the LCA-based data and supporting information are confirmed by a panel of experts.​

Transparency is at the heart of our mission. The transparent reporting of LCA results on advanced recycling helps us highlight the important role these technologies play in accelerating plastics circularity and identify areas for improvement. ​
