Whitepaper: The Impact of Plastic Waste Reduction on Process Safety

The last few years have seen ever-increasing pressure in public opinion to minimi􀁔e plastic waste–especially, the plastic residue that ends up in the oceans and gives rise to accumulations such as the infamous “Great Pacific Garbage Patch.”

Plastics are composed of polymers derived mainly from the petrochemical industry. Along their entire production chain there
are well-known process safety hazards. The question of how the trend towards a reduction in plastic waste will affect process safety is therefore a very valid one. We might expect to see slower growth in plastic production on one hand, with faster growth in activities related to alternative products or plastic management on the other. In this paper, we analyse the different options at hand for plastic waste reduction and their expected impact on process safety.
