[Narragansett, August 13, 2025] — A major European chemical recycling project, once touted as a breakthrough in tackling plastic waste, has been officially abandoned. The decision underscores a growing reality: large-scale recycling initiatives are failing to deliver on their promises, leaving landfills as the ultimate destination for most plastics.
“This is not the first project to collapse, and it certainly won’t be the last,” said Simon Milne, founder of bioaqualife™. “While the world waits for a perfect recycling solution, the plastic waste crisis continues to escalate. We need action now.”
Beyond economic and operational hurdles, mounting research is pointing to potential health risks associated with certain recycling methods, raising further concerns over their long-term viability.
A Practical Step Forward: Landfill-Biodegradable Technology
bioaqualife™ offers a proven, immediate solution: landfill-biodegradable shrinkwrap that performs to industry-leading standards while breaking down safely in 3–5 years without leaving harmful microplastics (independent lab certified).
“Our technology doesn’t replace the need for recycling—it fills the critical gap where recycling fails,” Milne explained. “If landfill-biodegradable materials became the standard for products that cannot or will not be recycled, we could dramatically reduce long-term plastic pollution.”
The Call to Make It Standard
With high-profile recycling projects stalling worldwide, bioaqualife™ urges marinas, manufacturers, and policymakers to adopt landfill-biodegradable materials as a standard requirement.
“The technology is ready. The need is urgent. Waiting is the worst choice we can make,” Milne added.
