Three Trinseo experts have co-edited a new book that provides a comprehensive roadmap for advancing polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) recycling. The second edition of PMMA Circularity Roadmap: Industrial Practice and Academic Insight brings together the expertise of Chemical Recycling Manager Simon van der Heijden, Research Fellow at R&D Pascal Lakeman and Principal Scientist Jean-Luc Dubois.
The book outlines strategies to boost acrylic recycling, covering the complete recycling chain from waste collection to mechanical and chemical recycling. It integrates broader concepts like life cycle analysis, cost considerations, governance frameworks and innovation strategies to enhance polymer circularity.
This work is more than a technical manual. It is a call to action for industries, policymakers and researchers to rethink how the chemical industry manages materials to develop a circular economy. The book showcases how deep expertise and cross-disciplinary thinking can lead to real-world impact in advancing sustainable materials solutions.
