Success Story: ISCC Plus Certified Chemical Recycling



In the evolving landscape of plastic waste management, a remarkable success story has emerged from India's recycling sector. This narrative showcases how APChemi, a pioneer in chemical recycling technologies, has empowered an entrepreneur to achieve a significant milestone: establishing India's first ISCC Plus certified chemical recycling plant. This achievement not only marks a turning point for the entrepreneur but also signifies a leap forward in India's journey towards a circular economy.

The Challenge: Transforming Plastic Waste through Chemical Recycling

At the heart of this success story lies a visionary entrepreneur who recognized the potential in India's growing plastic waste problem. However, the path to establishing a chemical recycling facility was fraught with challenges. From sourcing appropriate plastic waste streams to mastering the complex pyrolysis technology, the hurdles seemed insurmountable. The lack of industry expertise, funding constraints, and limited connections in the recycling sector further complicated the journey.
