With the use of its cutting-edge HICOP (High-efficiency Oil Production) technology, the company hopes to process 20,000 tons of plastic per year and turn plastic trash into crude oil. \u201cOur core purpose is to create a circular economy where waste becomes the source of new materials,\u201d said Suji Noda, the CEO of Environment Energy.<\/p>\n<p>The HICOP process involves the breaking down of plastic molecules at temperatures up to 450\u00b0C by using a method called catalytic cracking, a technique which is common parctice in petroleum refining. This strategy has a number of benefits over traditional recycling techniques. It is much safer compared to pyrolysis, a rival method that breaks down plastics using extremely high temperatures. The HICOP approach uses chemical recycling, which disassembles plastic into its component pieces as opposed to mechanical recycling, which grinds and repurposes plastic. As a result, the possibility of using a wider range of applications increases significantly, and better-quality final products can be expected.<\/p>\n<p>Catalysts bind to the plastic surface to start the process, dissolving the substance into smaller bits and finally turning them into hydrocarbon gasses. Crude oil is then created by condensing these gasses. By using catalysts, safety and efficiency can be increased because the reaction then becomes much milder than pyrolysis.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.deccanherald.com\/environment\/japans-450c-solution-to-tackle-the-rising-challenges-of-plastic-waste-3128957\">Deccan Herald<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/1-566\/\">Japan&#8217;s 450\u00b0C solution to tackle the rising challenges of plastic waste<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,15501,893,761],"class_list":["post-132714","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-hicop","tag-japan","tag-plastic-waste"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132714","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=132714"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132714\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=132714"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=132714"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=132714"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
