Dow and Circulus Enhance Circular Economy through Recycling Innovations

Dow and Circulus are collaborating to enhance recycling operations in Arab, AL, and Ardmore, OK, as part of the Recycling is Real initiative launched in 2023. The initiative aims to educate stakeholders on the realities of recycling and combat misconceptions about its effectiveness.

The partnership combines Dow’s materials science with Circulus’ film recycling technology, focusing on creating a sustainable materials ecosystem that involves collection, design, and manufacturing. This effort emphasizes the necessity for continued investment in U.S. recycling infrastructure, which is vital for achieving a circular economy. The combined expertise from both companies may lead to increased efficiency in recycling processes, thereby mitigating plastic waste.
