Fortum Recycling & Waste has successfully produced biodegradable plastic from carbon dioxide emissions from waste incineration at its plant in Riihimäki, Finland. The Finnish circular waste management company expects to expand this new material production primarily for sustainable food and cosmetics packaging and potentially other sectors like toys and home electronics. Similar carbon capture development projects are underway in several industrial sectors in Finland and globally, but most focus on synthetic fuel production and storing captured carbon under seabeds, highlights Fortum.
