Summary - This ‘miracle molecule’ is one of the building blocks of modern society yet most of us have never heard of it. What is it? Ethylene. Business (and kids) manager Wouter guides us on a journey to discover what ethylene is, how it’s made in a cracker, and why it is so important to our way of living. In this episode we learn the difference between fuels and chemicals, why coca cola was aiming for more sustainability with the introduction of plastic bottles, the differences between mechanical and chemical recycling and of course - how to sustainalize this industry.
