Sweden is building the world’s largest and most modern plastics recycling facility and is about to make plastics completely circular in the country. “We have decided that all plastic packaging in this country should be recycled so that it can become new plastic products.” That this is possible seems to me to be profoundly hopeful for all the societies drowning in plastic now. 

Site Zero will be a fully-automated, climate-neutral, plastics recycling facility that will be able to recycle all plastic packaging from Swedish homes without producing emissions. It will be powered by renewable energy, generated from solar panels on Site Zero’s large flat roof.
