This innovative process can effectively vaporize the most common types of plastic waste. Subsequently, it turns common plastic waste into useful materials for making new plastics.<\/p>\n<p>The catalytic process can effectively break down polyethylene and polypropylene, which together constitute a staggering two-thirds of all post-consumer plastic waste globally. The researchers also found that the process is resilient to some plastic additives, as demonstrated by successfully deconstructing various everyday plastic objects. However, their research indicated that certain additives, such as poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET), can poison the catalyst, hindering its effectiveness. Fortunately, these materials can be readily separated from polyethylene and polypropylene.<\/p>\n<p>The new approach presents several key advantages. Firstly, it facilitates easier catalyst recovery and reuse, leading to cost savings and reduced environmental impact. Secondly, continuous flow processes offer enhanced control over reaction conditions, enabling better management of product quality and yield.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.environmentenergyleader.com\/2024\/08\/ande-and-ikea-foundation-unveil-grants-to-boost-circular-economy-in-kenya-and-india\/\">Environment Energy Leader<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/1-584\/\">New method turns plastic waste into valuable resources with vaporizing process<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","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":[575,761,15905],"class_list":["post-133365","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-plastic-waste","tag-vaporizing"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133365","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=133365"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133365\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=133365"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=133365"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=133365"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
