Therefore, this study uses life cycle assessment (LCA) to compare the environmental impacts of chemical recycling of mixed plastic waste (MPW) via pyrolysis with the established waste management alternatives: mechanical recycling and energy recovery. Three LCA studies have been carried out under three...
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). Mechanical recycling is a physical process. Chemical recycling is a chemical process: you u...
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 such as tape are cleaned. XPS foam needs to be compacted into tight foam ingots by a professional XPS densifier to impr...
Investments in chemical recycling are important for broadening the scope of recyclable feedstock by targeting those plastics and their specific applications that are not suitable for mechanical recycling. Mass balance is a method of bookkeeping to ensure proper allocation of input material in the final...
Chemical recycling Plastic waste seems to be a very promising feed in the production of valuable chemicals and fuels. The current interest is not only in recovering energy or in mechanical recycling but also in the production of valuable products such as monomers or petrochemical feedstocks. For so...
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...
The majority of post-consumer plastic waste is not recycled. Impediments to the recycling of commodity polymers include separation, impurities and degradation of the macromolecular structures, all of which can negatively affect the properties of recycled
Recycled Finishes:Advances in recycling technologies will produce high-quality recycled textiles. Closed-Loop Systems:Complete integration of recycling and waste recovery in finishing processes. Market Expansion and Global Trade The global market will continue to expand as demand grows for high-performance...
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/...
