Chemical recycling technologies can break down plastics into their building blocks and transform them into valuable secondary raw materials.These materials can then be used to produce new chemicals and plastics.There are various chemical recycling technologies available that follow three new recycling ...
From curbside and workplace collections, paper is sorted based on the type of paper, how heavy it is, what it's used for, its color and whether it was previously recycled. Then a hot chemical and water bath reduces the paper to a soupy, fibrous substance. Magnets, gravity and filters ...
How does climate affect chemical weathering? How does pollution affect the biosphere? How does climate change affect water scarcity? What are the environmental impacts of landfills? How does the greenhouse effect work to increase global temperatures?
How does the implementation of different recycling technologies affect the quantity of recycled plastic produced? How does the recycled plastic production in scenario S2 compare to scenario S1? How do production and use-oriented solutions contribute to plastic recycling?
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...
In some cases, procurement departments believe there will be a small price premium at best, which can create the impression that sustainability does not sell. However, our work indicates that success is possible but requires a change in approach that plays to the new market’s success factors....
How does reverse osmosis work? Reverse osmosis takes place when you apply pressure to a highly concentrated solution, which causes the solvent to pass through a semipermeable membrane to the lower concentrated solution. This leaves behind a higher concentration of solute on one side, and pure solve...
Aside from bypassing the need to mine for new resources and mould them into the desired products, recycling also helps with the emissions produced by the waste itself. That’s because items that are sent to landfill leach harmful gases into the atmosphere over time, ...
Reusing plastics waste could become an important driver of profitability for chemical companies. Incumbent players need to make the right moves now to tap this opportunity. 塑料废物的再利用可能成为化工公司盈利的重要推动力。现有的参与者现在需要采取正确的行动来抓住这个机会。
Unlike traditional farming, an aquaponics system doesn’t rely on soil or chemical fertilizers. Instead, fish waste provides organic nutrients for plants, and in return, plants help purify the water for the fish. This creates a natural recycling process that mimics how ecosystems work in the wild...
