How to Communicate With Consumers About Chemical Recycling Solutions

Consumers around the globe are craving more sustainable products, and brands are struggling to figure out how to deliver on their recycled content goals. Chemical recycling, also known as advanced or molecular recycling, will be a crucial part of the solution set for brands to meet plastics and packaging goals. But in its early days, how do those brands communicate with consumers about that process? And how do they do so in a way that’s both compelling and easy to understand?

In 2021, Eastman conducted both qualitative and quantitative studies to determine how to message chemical recycling to consumers.  To help brands create compelling messages to drive interest and adoption of their circular solutions, this webcast will discuss this research, which includes data on more than 25,000 U.S., European, and Chinese consumers’ sustainable habits and preferences in markets such as fashion, housewares, electronics and cosmetics

This case study will unpack the hurdles and challenges they overcame, and explore the innovative solutions and strategies they employed to go to market.
