Corsair CEO Mr. Jussi Veikko Saloranta said, “We are very happy with this collaboration with Shell.”Plastic waste is a serious global problem. Of the hundreds of billions of kilos of plastic waste generated annually around the world, it is estimated that less than 10% is currently recycled. We must do everything we can to develop efficient ways to recycle old and discarded plastic rubbish into new plastic products, just as has been done for metals, glass and paper. Burning plastic in incinerators or dumping it in landfills is not the solution: the right thing to do is to convert old plastic back into new plastic products. Corsair, which began operations in Thailand and has recently expanded into Europe, aims to expand internationally to achieve greater positive impact on the environment,” said Saloranta. “At Shell, we believe that chemical recycling offers a valuable and viable way to complement mechanical recycling measures, and is necessary to achieve the highest recycling rates. which are essential for reducing plastic waste in the environment. “This is not just a partnership for innovation, but a commitment to a sustainable and circular future,” said Phil Turley, Managing Director of Shell’s Global Plastics Circular Economy.
