Case Study: Closed Loop Partners advances molecular plastics recycling insights with Anthesis

Supporting Closed Loop Partners to Develop First-of-its-kind Report Evaluating Molecular Plastics Recycling Technologies

Closed Loop Partners, a US-based investment firm focused on the circular economy, sought to assess the economic, environmental, and human health impacts of various molecular plastics recycling technologies. They required a comprehensive, systems-level analysis to provide a clear guide for investors and policymakers. Anthesis was engaged to provide the necessary research and analytical services to develop this critical report.

Anthesis, with support from a partner for lifecycle assessment expertise, led the project. Their solution involved conducting financial modelling, policy analysis, and supply chain evaluations. They performed detailed technology diligence on nine companies and synthesized the findings into a comprehensive report. The final deliverable from Anthesis provided Closed Loop Partners with a vital educational resource, including over 100 due diligence questions and case studies, to help investors assess opportunities and risks in molecular recycling.
