colleague Join GIC projects on automotive plastic circularity & PFAS destruction to collectively advance a circular, net-zero and safe chemical value chain.
October Highlights: Nature’s Cycle, Circular Progress
Leaves are falling — part of nature’s cycle of renewal and regrowth. It’s a timely reminder that what seems like an end can also mark a beginning: for ecosystems, for business, and for materials. This month, we witnessed that transformation first-hand at a SUEZ recycling facility, where waste finds new life through innovation.
Across our working groups, we’re carrying that same energy forward — advancing progress on sustainable methanol, biomass sourcing, PFAS destruction, automotive plastics circularity, and circular municipal solid waste. At K Fair, we shared insights through a panel and walking tour on automotive plastic circularity, meeting with partners across the value chain. Our GIC Executive Committee also met to align on strategy and keep projects moving ahead at speed.
Now we’re looking for new partners to join two projects driving real change:
PFAS Destruction: Incineration is no longer enough to eliminate PFAS. We are looking for companies to join as working group members as we move to testing testing PFAS destruction technologies. Participating companies will gain access to lab testing, data, and first-mover opportunities for pilot collaborations. Sectors of particular relevance include semiconductors, electronics, pharmaceuticals, and FMCG. Reach out to learn more
Automotive Plastic Circularity:Our 2025 pilot — testing new approaches to vehicle dismantling, shredding, and sorting to improve plastic recycling rates — is drawing to a close. We’re now planning the second phase to identify levers for economic optimization and provide guidance for better design-for-recycling. We’re seeking OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, ELV dismantlers, recyclers, and plastic producers to join us. Reach out to learn more
Together we can advance a more circular, low-emission chemical value chain.
Virtual Discussion with Scope 3 Peer Group on Sourcing Low-Carbon Chemicals
Calling all Scope 3 practitioners for an open discussion on sourcing low-carbon chemicals. This session is designed to exchange perspectives, identify shared challenges, and explore opportunities for collaboration across the value chain. Your insights will help guide areas for collective action and shape next steps in advancing access to low-carbon chemical solutions.

GIC Innovation Ecosystem Kick-off Roundtable
Join GIC and industry experts from Covestro and Syensqo for the kick-off roundtable of the GIC Innovation Ecosystem. We’ll spotlight the Innovation Ecosystem and share insights on two collaborative projects currently open for innovators: Sustainable Biomass and Circular Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Solutions. In this interactive roundtable, industry leaders will outline the challenges they are prioritizing, and innovators will have the chance to ask questions, share perspectives, and explore how their technologies could fit into upcoming pilots.
Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is a central lever in aviation’s decarbonization strategy — but bio-based feedstocks alone won’t meet future demand. The next frontier is eSAF — fuels made from green hydrogen and captured CO₂ that can cut lifecycle emissions by up to 90%. In this article, we dive into the technical and economic landscape of SAF, outlining how emerging pathways like eSAF and MTO can help close the gap between current production capacity and future demand.
