How TNO helps the recycling waste sector

For the journey towards a circular economy, recycling is a crucial component. That's why TNO assists the sector in innovating by assessing scenarios, applications, and measures. This includes new product designs, sustainable technologies for plastic recycling, and the reuse of valuable waste materials. Additionally, strategies are developed to reduce the spread of microplastics. Discover how TNO contributes to a circular economy through innovations and collaboration.

From 30% to 50% circular plastics

Currently, 70% of plastics are incinerated. We believe this must improve swiftly. Hence, we've set our ambition for 2030: by then, 50% of plastics must be produced in a circular manner. Through innovative production and recycling technologies, we aim to make this ambitious goal achievable.
