Plastic Waste Recycling─A Chemical Recycling Perspective
We propose the splitting of polymer chains using low-temperature atmospheric pressure plasma as a novel technology. To date, this technology has only been used for the surface treatment of plastic. However, it shows the potential for processing unsorted, low-value plastic waste, especially PE, PP, and mixed waste, which would otherwise be sent for incineration or to landfills. Mechanical recycling is often unsuitable for these waste streams, and competitive chemical recycling methods are not yet established on an industrial scale.Read moreThere is even more.
