1. Process for recycling plastics comprising the following processing steps: (a) Reprocessing the raw material whereby the material is comminuted if necessary and brought to a fluid form and then heated and permanently mixed while retaining its particulate and flowable form and, if need be, degass...
How much is plastic waste recycled in the United Kingdom? After a rapid growth since 2012, the UK's plastic recycling rate has plateaued in recent years.
SEATTLE (Scrap Monster):We all can – and should – do more to be good stewards of the environment. But all too often outdated recycling methods have led to high levels of contamination in our recycling and dismal recycling rates. Massachusetts nonalcoholic beverage companies are doing something ...
A single shift to plastic skateboards may not affect the environment noticeably, but our collective efforts in recycling plastic will yield a macro effect. Despite these plastic boards being inferior to wooden skateboards, they are still worth a try. Now that you know how to make a plastic skat...
The process starts with PLA production (the whole production process detailed by Vink et al. (2003)) which is followed by PLA transportation, filament production, and finally product delivery. On the other hand, Fig. 1 shows the recycling process enclosed in the orange box. The process starts...
More detailed information on the projections of collection rate, sorting, and recycling yields can be found in Figure S10–S22. 2.3.2.2. Transfer coefficients of chemical and solvent-based recycling Pyrolysis, coupled with Distillation, Hydrotreatment, and Steam Cracker: The first steps of the (...
The recyclability of any plastic will not only depend on the grade of the waste but also on the availability of a collection and sorting system, as well as the industrial plant to handle the recycling process. The term recycling is used in the context of a circular economy, where the ...

after purification, may be used to re-manufacture plastic items or to make other synthetic chemicals. However, up to now, such recycling process has only been performed on sorted or partially sorted polymers and is not efficient on raw plastic products that may comprise a mix of different polym...
A method for reclaiming plastic and cellulosic fiber from plastic coated waste. The method includes the steps of introducing previously hydropulped plastic coated waste into a size reduction unit to r
