, ‘Circular recycling is a term referring to SK Chemical’s unique chemical recycling method. Unlike physical recycling where waste plastics are shredded, washed, and reused as raw materials, chemical recycling breaks down plastics into molecular units and uses them as raw materials. It has the advantage of being infinitely recyclable without compromising product quality such as transparency.’,
