Significant market opportunities exist in advanced recycling technologies, driven by global awareness of plastic waste and ...

Methods that don't employ a catalyst, though, tend to have low rates of converting the waste into products of use. For this project, the researchers found a way around both of these obstacles and ...

The mounting global plastic waste crisis has compelled scientists and engineers to seek novel solutions. Among the various technologies being explored, the pyrolysis of plastic waste has emerged as a ...

Two new plastic pyrolysis plants are in the works in the US that could add a new recycling option for plastic trash and increase the supply of some commodity chemicals. In pyrolysis, a feedstock such ...

Since the emergence of pyrolysis as a technology in the chemical recycling market in the last decade, it has attracted the attention of key players in the plastics supply chain. Pyrolysis promises to ...

Through a comprehensive life cycle assessment (LCA) , the team demonstrated that converting these wastes into biochar via pyrolysis—particularly by co-processing cotton straw with recycled mulch ...
