Alfa Laval - Energy’s Post

Witnessing State of the art Chemical recycling plants from Groningen to Germany show casing their commitment to #circular Carbon. If you take in consideration that 56 percent of the total Chemicals produced today are utilized by other industries, advanced recycling technologies will not only have a #positive impact in #defossilizing the Chemical industry but consistently to a broader range of industries . The circular journey doesnt stop here.

Your discussion is incomplete. There are thermal processes carried above 4.500°C and there are thermal processes carried below 450°C. Mixed plastics have an energy content of 39Mj/kg, totally capable of providing the energy for the lower temperature spectrum, but not capable of sustaining the high temperature processes autothermically. So its is the process temperature and the energy content of plastics that determine if the process is thermodynamically and economically feasible. The energy balance will tell.

🔄♻️ Did you know that chemical recycling is the game changer for recycling plastics? It is used for hard-to-recycle raw materials, highly contaminated plastics, and even thermosetting materials that cannot be melted down. Chemical recycling breaks down waste materials into their basic building blocks, known as monomers, using #catalysts. 👨🔬 Evonik is working on a platform technology for cost-efficient processes with an optimized life cycle assessment. Also we are involved in converting mixed plastic residues into pyrolysis oils, which can replace petroleum-based Naphtha in the petrochemical process. 🌍 The complementary technology synergy of mechanical recycling and chemical recycling has the potential to convert many millions of tons of waste into valuable materials. Only innovative solutions will bring the difference 💪 What do you think about it? #FollowUsBeyond #chemicalrecycling #recyclingtechnology #sustainability #innovation #wastemanagement

Caution urged over chemical recycling. A key global body has urged caution over chemical recycling, insisting the emerging process should only be used in certain situations: https://lnkd.in/gQp2dwqr #recyclingindustry #sustainablerecycling #therecyclingassociation #chemicalrecycling #circulareconomy #wastemanagement

More to see about plastics recycling on the move, BASF! Plastics circularity requires a variety of solutions to address the broad range of applications and their resulting end-of-life materials. Chemical recycling technologies are suited for waste streams for which mechanical recycling is not applicable, for example mechanical recycling rejects or end-of-life tires. BASF has established partnerships with technology companies Quantafuel, Arcus and Pyrum which supply us with pyrolysis oil. We feed the oil as recycled feedstock into our integrated production network and attribute it to certified Ccycled® products through a mass balance approach. BASF customers have successfully introduced Ccycled® products in various industries like (food) packaging, textile and automotive. ARCUS is a greentech start-up company founded in 2016. By means of its technology, it aims to use its technology to sustainably recycle plastic waste that cannot or only with difficulty be recycled in the carbon cycle and thus to use fewer fossil raw materials on the one hand and to master the global challenge of plastic waste on the other.
