Assessment framework for chemical recycling provides clarity for investors

Chemical recycling is crucial for achieving a circular economy for plastics. The sector is growing rapidly, with more and more innovative companies bringing their own technology and strategy. This diversity is valuable, but makes it difficult for investors to compare companies effectively. That is why Haskoning, commissioned by Invest-NL, developed an assessment framework that provides clarity.

Clear picture of the market 

The assessment framework makes visible how chemical recycling companies differ: from technology and impact to raw material availability, market outlets, and location. This provides investors with a solid starting point for making decisions. At the same time, it helps companies to more sharply define their maturity. 

Tool for further professionalisation 

The framework is based on market data and conversations with about fifteen Dutch companies. It is intended as a practical tool for investors, companies, and policymakers working together to build a circular plastics value chain.  

Getting financing moving 

With this assessment framework, we help the sector move forward and enhance the financing of innovative solutions. For example, Invest-NL mobilises funding where the market is still hesitant.
