Our Plastics Journey
The ultimate goal is a circular economy – one in which resources are protected, plastic waste is minimized and the benefits of plastics are recognized. Join us to discover how we are innovating with our partner organizations to improve how plastics are made, used, and recycled in ways that bring us ever closer to that goal of circularity.
Mass Balance
Mass balance is a chain-of-custody approach to account for materials entering and leaving a system. In the chemical industry, renewable or recycled feedstock is mixed in a continuously operating production process and allocated to the end products after chemical transformations have taken place.
