With his expertise in finance, Jasper decided to become a part of the transition of the petrochemical and plastic industry. In this podcast episode, we talked about the importance of upcycling plastic waste, chemical recycling, and how it is financially feasible. We also discussed some important aspects of the development of bio-based polymers, and how statistics influence the perception of recycling rates. Additionally, we reflected on some insightful points about energy security and the dependency on fossil fuels and gas.
