Therefore, more plastic waste should be recycled overall. Solving this challenge and building a more circular economy for plastics requires innovation and joint efforts across the value chain. BASF will contribute to this by developing innovative technologies and products that promote the recycling ...
Plastic waste comes in all shapes and forms, from mattresses to furniture, to drink bottles, to construction pipes; it varies in quality and quantity andno single recycling technology can deal with all the different varieties of waste.In addition to initiatives to reduce and reuse plastic, using...
Waste upcyclingThe use of plastics is closely associated with modern life. However, plastics are very slowly degraded in nature, and current recycling of used plastic materials is inefficient, which raises growing concern due to the widespread use of plastics. Inherent values of plastics are easily...
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...
Every year, millions of tons of plastic waste are produced that are not recycled. The gasification technology of the start-up Waste-to-En enables the chemical recycling of plastics and offers a promising solution to this problem. The method efficiently converts waste into valuable resources while...
Narrator: The world is choking on plastic waste. Less than nine per cent of it is recycled. I’m on the trail of an emerging industry which promises to change all that. Starting in Merseyside, a key U.K. chemical hub and home to a pioneering plastic recycling business. Narrator: Hi, ...
As one of the key pathways to a circular economy that uses wastes as feedstocks Task 36 investigates how waste recycling technologies perform in comparison to waste-to-energy solutions. Find below the key finding on chemical recycling technologies presented in the 2-day workshop Decarbonization of ...
Chemical recycling of solid plastic waste (SPW) is a paramount opportunity to reduce marine and land pollution and to enable the incorporation of the circular economy principle in today's society. In addition to more conscious behaviors and wiser product design (“design for recycling”), a key...
If chemical recycling is applied on a large scale, the country will be able to see remarkable drops in plastic waste and emissions of carbon dioxide, and a significant increase in oil production. 报告称,预计到2035年,中国每年将生产1.55亿吨塑料。如果大规模应用化学回收,该国将能够显著减少塑料废物...
An alternative approach to processing plastic solid waste is chemical recycling, the success of which relies on the affordability of processes and the efficiency of catalysts. In this Review, we describe technologies available for sorting and recycling plastic solid waste into feedstocks, as well as ...
