Eastman Renew Solutions

What happens when a vision becomes reality? Eastman has a vision to transform hard-to-recycle plastic waste into a valuable asset and create a truly circular economy for plastic. Now online, our Kingsport facility is one of the largest molecular recycling facilities in the world, capable of recycling 110,000 metric tons every year. By scaling up this technology, we are making strides towards a future where our vision is real. We will make a big impact in reducing plastic waste and lowering carbon emissions compared to traditional fossil-based processes.

Eastman is proud to have contributed to the latest edition of the French magazine Les Annales des Mines. Our advanced technologies, such as Polyester Renewal Technology (PRT) and Carbon Renewal Technology (CRT), provide groundbreaking solutions by deconstructing waste plastics into their molecular components. These innovations help address plastic waste and climate change, support a circular economy for plastics, and reduce dependence on fossil fuels. Achieving sustainability demands collaboration among industries, governments, and consumers. By advocating for supportive policies and embracing material-to-material recycling, we can drive systemic change. It is crucial to promote regulations that encourage innovation in plastic recycling and adopt principles like material-to-material recycling and complementarity between chemical and mechanical recycling.
