Monomeris Chemicals : a practical solution
The challenge of plastic recycling lies in the very nature of these materials: there are over 50 different types of plastics, which are often mixed, colored, or combined with other materials, making their sorting and processing particularly complex.
Added to this are issues of contamination in the streams—food residues, labels, chemical additives—which degrade the quality of the recycled materials and limit their industrial applications.
A Solution for Local Communities
The rollout of our solutions is becoming a key regional priority. By installing a network of machines as close as possible to local stakeholders, we provide local communities with a practical tool to significantly increase their plastic waste recycling rates—a goal that is now central to public policies on the ecological transition. This localized approach not only reduces collection and processing distances but also revitalizes the local economy by creating jobs and recovering previously untapped resources.
Monomeris Chemicals thus becomes much more than just an industrial player: a comprehensive solution that simultaneously addresses sustainable development goals, societal challenges, and local economic growth ambitions.
Governments Confronting the Plastic Crisis
For any government, the management and recycling of plastic waste is a complex issue whose challenges will only intensify while causing increasing damage to the environment, biodiversity, and public health. The consequences of this silent crisis are already evident in soil contamination, water pollution, and the accumulation of microplastics in food chains, causing lasting damage to ecosystems and human health.
Indeed, with global plastic production exceeding 400 million tons per year and an effective recycling rate that barely exceeds 9% globally, the pressure on terrestrial and marine ecosystems is reaching unprecedented levels. The vast majority of this plastic ends up buried, incinerated, or abandoned in the natural environment, representing a considerable waste of resources and a major source of greenhouse gas emissions.
Given the scale of the challenge, the responses so far have been insufficient: collection and processing infrastructure struggles to keep up with the explosion in volumes, while the growing complexity of plastic materials makes recycling them increasingly difficult.
With Monomeris Chemicals, turn your recycled plastics into sustainable and innovative solutions
Observation
- Effective waste collection infrastructure
- Sufficient sorting and recycling facilities
- Integrated waste management systems
Circular Economy
Waste becomes a profitable revenue stream through the resale of recycled gases to the chemical industry.
Monomeris can allocate a portion of its revenue to creating local jobs to reduce the informal sector and improve waste collection and sorting. (Depending on the country, approximately 40 jobs are created for every 10,000 tons recycled per year)
Challenges
The consequences are devastating:
- Environmental degradation and loss of biodiversity
- Health risks
- Economic and tourism impacts
- The growth of a poor informal economy vulnerable to health risks
- The rise of trafficking and corruption surrounding plastic waste, which has value on the recycling market
Gas Energy
Gas energy production can sometimes provide a local solution for several reasons:
- Distance from the end gas customer
- High energy demand, so a gas-fired MELTA could replace a diesel power plant and generate electricity locally (500 kWh continuously) from plastic waste.
- This helps reduce waste in the environment or avoid shipping it to another country
