World-First Green Plastic Created from Captured CO2 Waste LINK

In A Nutshell:

Finnish energy company Fortum has developed a groundbreaking biodegradable plastic made entirely from CO2 emissions, marking a significant advancement in sustainable materials.

Key Points:

• The plastic is produced using carbon capture and utilization (CCU), converting captured CO2 from waste incineration into a biodegradable product.

• This development helps reduce reliance on fossil-based raw materials and supports the transition to a circular economy.

• Fortum's technology could capture and repurpose up to 90% of CO2 emissions from waste incineration, promoting sustainability on a larger scale.

Why It Matters:

This initiative presents a viable solution to plastic waste and carbon emissions, enabling the creation of sustainable products from what was once considered waste. By fostering a circular economy, it can significantly contribute to reducing environmental impact and addressing resource scarcity in the future.
