By identifying heterogeneous waste streams as suitable feedstocks for chemical recycling, this dissertation extends the spectrum of technology applications now being discussed in the academic literature and socio-political debates. Specifically, detailed scenarios addressing potential roles for chemical recycling in the circular economy can support its integration into mature and regulated industrial sectors of waste management and chemical production. Additionally, developed models for Life Cycle Assessment, Techno-Economic Analysis, and life cycle sustainability assessment can serve as a blueprint for future comparative evaluations of chemical recycling to alternative waste treatment options.
