Dow has a supply agreement with Fuenix Ecogy Group, a Dutch startup that uses heat to crack the polymers in plastic.

This partnership offers us the opportunity to scale up our technology.

Our ambition is to ensure the value of plastic waste is fully used to create new, circular plastic.”

Looks like the Wall Street Journal gave a shout out to Loop Industries in that article. I wonder if that will make Loop's stock jump on Monday.

The problem with recycling plastic at any cost to help the environment is that the cost generally also comes at a environmental impact. If, for example, a company's employees use one additional gallon of gas to get to work in order to produce each additional 5 lbs of high-priced 'chemically recycled' plastic then everyone loses, including the environment.
