2020 ended with another development in the coronavirus pandemic that threatened to worsen the health crisis and put a halt to the economic recovery. A new strain of the virus was found in Europe and a looming third wave of the pandemic led to borders closing once more.
Hopes remain that the vaccines about to be rolled out will still prove effective against the latest mutation. When that happens and the health emergency recedes, the chemicals industry is set to turn its attention to those issues that marked the agenda before the pandemic.
Recycling, sustainability, and how to get the circularity that would help achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 – the true challenge of our time.
