financial return (NPV).

We are also associating process simulation data with those Chips, so that we can look at throughput, and use throughput to define what Chips we need..The Chip as future enabler.

We are often asked what ‘Chip’ stands for.It doesn't stand for anything.It's based on the idea of a microchip within a computer.

The microchip is the bit that does the hard work.It's the intelligent bit and the bit that adds value.. Chips are enabling tools that do a lot of work and add a lot of value.

Within our wider Design to Value approach and methodology, they provide a common language for all the people involved in a project, they enable collaboration and the rapid development and testing of multiple ideas.

We've seen the benefits they deliver..We know we have a long way to go in our efforts to negate climate change and, as discussed, the benefits of carbon capture when used effectively will have a significant impact on the footprint of the plastics industry.

The goal of using carbon capture in conjunction with other greener methods like green hydrogen and greener electricity is one we should strive to include more in future projects.Gabrielli and his colleagues are determined that the industry can be defossilised and that carbon capture is the key.

For the sake of our planet, we must believe that too.As we evolve our perspectives to consider how to coexist with our planet and not just take from it, we can see that industrial plastics have the potential to help make strides in reducing the carbon footprints of what we build, live in and use.
