Today, plastic waste mainly ends up in incineration or landfill because it is difficult to recycle economically for sorted reasons. Researchers at the University of Amsterdam have developed a process that addresses this problem from another side: instead of sorting plastics and melting them mechanically, they simply boil mixed waste into oil. A pilot plant in Spain is to show this summer whether this also works on an industrial scale. Image: PLA…
New pilot plant can transform hard-to-recycle plastic waste into useful oil
A team of researchers at the University of Amsterdam has developed a new way to recycle mixed plastic waste that could help reduce the amount of plastic sent to landfills or incinerators. Their new pilot plant can convert different types of plastic waste into oil, which can then be used to make new plastics. The […] The post New pilot plant can transform hard-to-recycle plastic waste into useful oil appeared first on Knowridge Science Report.
