21 Aug 2024 --- European research institution VTT, Lappeenranta-Lahti University of Technology (LUT University) and partnering companies have opened a pilot plant in Espoo, Finland, to process captured carbon dioxide into compounds that can replace fossil raw materials in plastic products and chemicals. PP and PE are the most common plastic types used for everyday applications and are typically produced from fossil raw materials. Therefore, plastics play an important role in sequestering carbon dioxide in long-lasting products.
