Purpose
This study, commissioned by the American Chemistry Council’s Plastics Division and conducted
by RTI International, investigated the range of emerging waste conversion technologies that use
plastics as all or a portion of their feedstocks. The focus of the study was to report on the
environmental aspects of the technologies, using a life cycle approach, and to report what is
known about the economics of these technologies.
