In this vein , Matthias highlights BASFs work to develop solutions to make mechanically recycling all plastic and polymer materials more feasible . Part of enhancing overall sustainability is utilising recycling solutions sensibly and thoughtfully , depending on the specific purity and nature of the waste stream . “ ChemCycling ® can be a fantastic solution for waste streams that are not recycled mechanically for technological , economic or ecological reasons .” Mia says .
