The Chemical Recycling Alliance expands member roster

The Washington-based American Chemistry Council’s (ACC’s) Plastics-to-Fuel and Petrochemistry Alliance has changed its name to The Chemical Recycling Alliance (TCRA) and has added three new members.TCRA’s newest members are Sealed Air Corp., Charlotte, North Carolina;  New Hope Energy, Tyler, Texas; and Golden Renewable Energy LLC, Yonkers, New York. The companies join chemical recycling technology providers Agilyx Corp., Renewlogy and RES Polyflow (now Brightmark Energy) and associate members Americas Styrenics LLC and Tetra Tech Inc.“Advanced recycling and recovery technologies, such as chemical recycling, present a critical and tremendous opportunity for the entire plastics value chain,” says Craig Cookson, senior director, recycling and recovery. “Members of the American Chemistry Council’s Plastics Division have committed to recycling or recovering all plastic packaging in the United States by 2040, and TCRA technology providers will play an important role in realizing that goal. A recent report found that many chemical recycling technologies are still in a nascent phase, but can reach scale with strategic investments and new, vertically integrated business models.”
