Much of it is left in the earth, to become part of the fossil record of our era. Besides waste pollution, the generation of raw materials also causes harmful emissions. This is not a legacy we want to leave for future generations and the industry is working together on multiple levels to address climate change. Here, PCR is considered as part of the solution.
