Circular plastics

A significant portion of plastics still ends up being incinerated rather than recycled. At TNO, we are committed to achieving a fully circular system by 2050. To this end, we are working towards making the production and use of plastics entirely circular.

We accomplish this by developing scenario models that guide the circular transition and by collaborating with partners on innovative production and recycling technologies.

Solution to plastic waste

From innovations for new plastic product designs to sustainable technologies for recycling plastics. With circular plastics, we’re contributing to a more sustainable future.
