(CIRCA) Circular plastics: advanced chemical recycling of plastic waste Ghent University
Mixed plastic waste streams are heavily dominated by polyolefin materials and their recycling is a challenge having a large societal significance. Chemical recycling via pyrolysis and steam cracking is seen as a promising technology for the recycling of mixed polyolefins into new plastics with identical properties to virgin grades. However, current technologies are not yet efficient from the economic and environmental standpoint. In fact, ...
