In addition to chemical recycling, waste XPS can also be converted into recyclable materials through mechanical recycling. Mechanical recycling refers to XPS foam recycling by compacting and granulating XPS foam into recycled particles. Waste XPS foam is first collected and sorted, and contaminants ...
With help from government and industrial partners, the CWRU-led team is working to develop and test a technique that blends the high-efficacy chemical method of plastic recycling with the typically high-output but low-efficacy mechanical recycling. The CWRU-led team will study how to separate ...
What is the difference between mechanical-, chemical-, advanced- and bio recycling? Mechanical recycling involves a mechanic process: you clean the plastic waste and you shred it with a shedder. You keep the molecular structure of the polymer (polymer is the scientific name of plastic). Mechani...
Chemical recycling helps transform plastic waste into circular chemicals Mechanical recycling is best suited for recycling lightweight plastics like drink bottles or milk jugs; however, alternatives are needed for other plastics that cannot be mechanically recycled and are currently destined for incineration...

They would also be able to make these large-scale mechanical recycling units part of their integrated production sites. Working with other stakeholders Finally, there’s a clear role for chemical companies to get involved with and work alongside other stakeholders. The waste-management sector...
Recycling cycles cause a decrease in mechanical paper properties due to cellulose fiber degradation. The use of cellulose micro/nanofibers (CMF/CNF) to reinforce paper strength has been well studied, although it has been found to have negative effects on drainage. However, the application of CMF/...
Unlike industrial wastewater, semiconductor wastewater is complex and hazardous, complicating its recycling and necessitates research. During semiconductor processes, chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) involves the grinding of wafers, which generate large amounts of fine particles that contaminate products, ...
No. Chemical recycling is not in competition with mechanical recycling. We stand with mechanical recycling as part of the solution to the problem of plastic waste. We adhere to the waste hierarchy and complement the mix of solutions to the problem. Clearly, considering t...
Chemical recycling is one of two major ways to recycle waste plastic. It splits polymer chains and creates products such as oil. The other way is mechanical recycling, which crushes waste to make new plastic products. 化学回收是回收废塑料的两种主要方法之一。它分裂聚合物链并产生诸如油之类的产品...
