Abstract: The road to achieving global sustainability and circularity is long. While many solutions
are on the table, this presentation makes the argument for solutions that prioritize
circularity and decarbonization while also being the right fit for the market and
related conditions taking place.
Mr. Badiola will explore the various pathways and solutions used today and explain
the operation, similarities and differences among processes like mechanical recycling,
monomer recycling, and Encina’s advanced recycling process.
Attendees will come away with a view of what the future could look like where supply
chains are reimagined, high-value products are created, and our society has significantly
reduced its reliance on new fossil fuel resources.
Carlo Badiola, President of Technology and Engineering for Encina Development Group.
