Carbon2x. The goal of Fortum Recycling & Waste's Carbon2x concept, launched in April 2022, is to recycle otherwise non-recyclable waste by capturing the carbon dioxide emissions generated from its incineration and returning the carbon dioxide to the material cycle as high-quality plastics. The pilot project utilizing carbon dioxide generated from waste incineration is the first of its kind in the world. The pilot is being implemented at Fortum's plant in Riihimäki, Finland. The first products of the Carbon2x program are expected to reach the market within this decade.
