Obviously there exists some confusion about what is the underlying science or principle for certain plastic recycling technologies.
Having been confronted more often with incorrect classifications of the CreaSolv® Process as Chemical Recycling we see the need for correction and clarification. The CreaSolv® Process is a solvent-based purification (dissolution) that is based on physical and not on chemical processes (or changes). During the CreaSolv® Process the polymer only changes its physical state from solid to liquid and back to solid. Therefore, the correct description is Physical Recycling.
