MacroCycle, a plastics recycling startup, secured a deal with Meta to sell environmental attribute credits, funding the build of its first US commercial recycling plant producing low-carbon PET plastics for textiles and packaging.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Circular Economy.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Your access to early revenue from selling emissions reductions can unlock factory scale-up faster if you supply recycled plastics for packaging or textiles. Expect corporates like Meta to open new low-carbon material markets that directly affect your sourcing and customer base.
