Transparent and digital: How the recycling market needs to change

March 2, 2021

Nearly 400 million tons of plastic are currently produced worldwide each year. However, less than ten percent of this consists of recycled material. There are several reasons for this. One of them is an intransparent and inefficiently organized market for recyclates. The Hamburg-based startup CIRPLUS wants to change this – with a global, digital marketplace for recycled plastic.

In the POLYPROBLEM Online Workshop, CIRPLUS founder Christian Schiller analyzes the problems of the faltering interaction between supply and demand and presents his proposed solution.
