Cyrill Hugi as a guest on Welt Wunder

In this interview, Cyrill Hugi, founder and CEO of enespa ag, discusses a technology that could fundamentally change how we deal with plastic waste: chemical recycling via thermolysis. Instead of burning plastic or storing it in landfills, modular plants convert even challenging mixed plastics into high-quality oil in a virtually CO2-neutral process – true upcycling instead of downcycling. Hugi explains why mechanical recycling alone is insufficient, what hurdles need to be overcome in terms of financing and policy, and how enespa is already active on five continents. Viewers will learn precisely what is needed for a circular economy for plastics to truly work – technically, economically, and socially. The interview reveals how innovative green technology can help solve the global plastic crisis.
