Simulation for a Circular Economy - Best Practices Learned From Modeling Plastic Resin Recycling

As the chemical industry advances toward circularity, companies are under growing pressure to reduce waste, cut carbon intensity, and demonstrate sustainable innovation. Process simulation plays a critical role in designing recycling systems that are both technically and economically viable.

Join us for an in-depth webinar exploring how solvent-based dissolution–precipitation can turn post-consumer plastics into new, high-quality resin —a promising plastic-to-plastic recycling solution. Using CHEMCAD, we’ll demonstrate best practices for modeling three process pathways and how to evaluate:

   • Capital and operating costs across different recycling scenarios

   • Environmental impacts and carbon footprint reduction potential

   • Process optimization techniques that improve efficiency and scalability

You’ll walk away with a clearer understanding of how simulation supports decision-making for sustainable design — from early feasibility studies to plant-scale implementation.

This session is ideal for chemical engineers, process developers, and sustainability professionals seeking practical modeling insights to meet evolving circular economy goals.
