🌟 Navigating the Recycling Landscape: A Comprehensive Comparison of Plastic Recycling Techniques ♻️ In our latest blog, we embark on a journey through the diverse landscape of plastic recycling techniques, comparing their strengths, limitations, and contributions to a sustainable future. From traditional mechanical recycling to cutting-edge innovations like depolymerization and gasification, each method offers unique approaches to tackle the global plastic crisis. Mechanical recycling, the cornerstone of recycling efforts, emphasizes sorting and cleaning to produce recycled materials. Advanced mechanical recycling builds upon this foundation, striving for higher quality and purity through advanced technologies. Chemical recycling breaks down plastics into molecular components, offering a reset button for reusability, while pyrolysis harnesses heat to transform plastics into valuable resources. Depolymerization, with its molecular dismantling approach, promises high-quality recycled materials. Solvent-based purification and gasification techniques further expand the horizon of recycling possibilities. As we weigh the benefits and challenges of each method, we envision a future where these techniques work in tandem to create a circular economy for plastics. Join us as we unravel the intricacies of plastic recycling and chart a course towards a more sustainable tomorrow. #PlasticRecycling #Sustainability #CircularEconomy 🔄 #CircularTech

#Recycling is important for reducing the environmental impact of plastic waste. Chemical recycling is particularly noteworthy for its ability to process a wider variety of #plastics, including heavily contaminated materials. This opens up significant opportunities for suppliers who can offer suitable recycling technologies and related equipment. What are the key drivers to advance #ChemicalRecycling? - Establishing large-scale facilities to ensure economic viability - Requiring substantial capital investment, with up to EUR 130 billion needed globally until 2050 - Establishing close industry partnerships to provide efficient technologies and secure plastic waste feedstock Explore trends, projections, and opportunities for #RecyclingIndustry: https://bit.ly/45sJcIa #RolandBerger Mario Sanchez Dr Darren Perrin Filippo Ghizzoni Dragos Fundulea Elias Al Akiki Andrei Berghianu

We must approach plastic waste differently, re-evaluate recycling systems and processes methods for collection, look at it as a building block in abundance, a product that can be repurposed for permanent solutions.

Ever wondered what happens to plastic after it’s tossed away? In our latest blog post, "Understanding the Plastic Recycling Process", we unpack the fascinating transformation of discarded plastics into valuable resources. From the moment post-industrial and post-consumer waste is collected, through sorting, to the stages of mechanical or chemical recycling, we've got the details and the main differences. Did you know that mechanical recycling turns plastic into reusable flakes, while chemical recycling breaks it down to its fundamental elements, producing materials that rival brand new ones? We are all about embracing a 360o approach to recycling design and supporting circular product initiatives with trusted certifications, all thanks to our collaboration with industry stakeholders.

Plastic2WaxLife uses a unique, catalyst-free pyrolysis process to break down plastic waste. Operating between 400°C and 600°C, the process converts plastics like polyethene and polypropylene into high-quality wax and other valuable by-products. What sets this process apart is the absence of oxygen, flame, and harmful emissions, making it one of the cleanest and most efficient methods of plastic transformation. This innovative technology reduces plastic waste and supports sustainable industrial practices. # circulareconomy # plastic2waxlife #Lifeprogramme #Sustainability #GreenInnovation #EcoFriendly #WasteReduction #TrifolResources #EULIFE #PlasticRecycling #SustainableSolutions #EnvironmentalImpact #GreenFuture

Advanced mechanical recycling is revolutionizing the future of recycled plastic content production. Here’s how it works. Plastic waste is collected and recovered from any post-consumer waste stream, including residual mixed waste. The recovered plastic is processed with extensive pre-sorting and purification steps to ensure high-quality results. Its unique combination of advanced technologies includes: -Decontamination and label removal -Flake sorting into polymer types and color groups -Deodorization -Extrusion and pelletizing Advanced mechanical recycling is an energy-efficient method of plastic recycling. Unlike chemical recycling or plastic pyrolysis, it requires far less energy and has a smaller ecological footprint. This video is based on a state-of-the-art plant built in 2021 by TOMRA, Borealis, and Zimmermann. The facility processes plastics recovered from household waste using innovative, advanced mechanical recycling techniques.
