Underlying demand for European recycled #agglomerates has increased throughout 2024, and is expected to rise sharply as pyrolysis-based chemical #recycling scales. The majority of recycled #polyolefin agglomerates are currently used by mechanical recyclers. Nevertheless, #pyrolysis based chemical recyclers are increasingly targeting agglomerates as a feedstock. In response to the growing interest in recycled polyolefin agglomerates, #ICIS has launched a new recycled agglomerates price index as part of its mixed #plasticwaste and pyrolysis oil (#Europe) pricing service.

Der Grüne Punkt to Supply Shell with Pyrolysis Oil The German organization Green Dot Group (Der Grüne Punkt) is providing Shell Chemicals Europe with pyrolysis oil derived from post-consumer plastic packaging. This oil will be processed at Shell’s upcoming "Market Development Upgrader Unit (MDU)" at the Chemicals Park in Moerdijk, Netherlands. The upgrader, expected to start operations by the end of the year, will handle plastic waste unsuitable for mechanical recycling. With an annual capacity of 50,000 tonnes, the facility will help reduce waste incineration. Green Dot Group has been supplying Shell with this oil since March.   Using pyrolysis for plastic waste transformation is a great avenue of valorisation for non traditionally recyclable materials. As the giant starts taking in pyrolytic oil, we hope more investments will be geared towards pyrolysis projects. #Pyrolysis #Recycling #Sustainability #PlasticRecycling https://lnkd.in/d83Hn_gk

Conversion of plastic and tire waste into energy carriers, such as heating oil, diesel, grill coke, synthesis gas, etc. What should we do with more and more garbage? The conversion of waste into an energy carrier has become relevant because the production of electricity from waste is slowly being replaced by solar and wind energy, because their operating costs are almost zero, the amortization of the equipment Waste-to-energy plant is a great alternative to reduce the area for waste treatment and disposal, in addition to generating energy for all small cities in the region. A good alternative is to create an intermunicipal cooperative between small cities to share costs It is a social advantage if small villages are supplied with locally produced energy, thus creating local jobs for the local energy-using population from waste collected locally, small equipment for micro power plants can also be manufactured locally Our innovation in environmental protection is the use of microwave technology Carbonization of waste in microwave steam plasma. The main advantage of steam plasma reactors is that there is no nitrogen in the plasma reactor in the microwave vapor plasma, no nitrogen from the air (only hydrogen and oxygen are produced from water vapor) In emissions no nitrogen oxide, which is 40x more toxic than carbon monoxid, no sulfur dioxide (filtration with ceramic filters and adsorbents), minimal carbon dioxide and odorless flue gas. The hydrogen introduced into the reaction space with the microwave vapor plasma slows down the reactions of gaseous sulphur, phosphorus and free chlorine formation to remove in the gas purification unit. When reacting with chlorine-containing substances, microwave vapor plasma does not produce dioxin, which is one of the most toxic substances. To date, I have been approached several times by entrepreneurs interested in profit from oil-rich countries, but it would be a step forward if the governments would 100% finance these projects that improve the quality of our lives, where the government should finance projects, if they do not want their country to be covered in waste.

Up until now, black plastics is recyclable but waste sorting systems can’t recognize black pigments when carbon black is used as a pigment. But we’ve got great news for the #plastics #packaging industry! Plastic articles that are blacked by our UPM BioMotion Renewable Functional Fillers (RFF) can in fact be sorted by near-infrared (NIR) detection systems and represent a great alternative solution to help customers achieve their recycling targets and sustainability goals.   Read below article, published in the March/April issue of bioplastics MAGAZINE to learn more about the unique properties of UPM BioMotion RFF in comparison with a carbon black masterbatch.   Check out our Renewable Functional Fillers here: https://lnkd.in/g2Yz-JE   #beyondfossils #upmbiorefining #upmbiochemicals Barbara Gall, Florian Diehl

The Hidden Benefits of Spent Caustic Recycling Spent caustic can be more than just a waste byproduct. Instead of costly disposal, recycling spent caustic offers significant benefits for the chemical and petrochemical industries! Key Benefits: ▶ Cost Savings: Cut down on procurement costs and eliminate hefty disposal fees. ▶ New Revenue Streams: Repurpose recycled spent caustic for sale or reuse in other processes. ▶ Environmental Impact: Contribute to sustainability goals by minimizing waste and conserving natural resources. Applications include neutralizing acidic waste, sulfur removal, and equipment cleaning – proving that spent caustic is a valuable resource. Altiras Chemicals is your trusted partner in spent caustic solutions.

Agilyx Great initiative and nicely demonstrated by the video👍 ….. but EPS difficult to recycle? Not at all! EPS is one of the best (often seperately) collected materials. It can be recycled in a number of ways that are economically proven and contribute to reduce environmental impact. Available recycling techniques are ao: - mechanical recycling as EPS particles - compacting and melting into Re-GPPS - Dissolution - Chemical recycling Complementary techniques, applicability and environmental preference depending on application and local circumstances.

Plastics sustainability is an extremely important issue, and creating a value chain to increase its circularity is paramount. We are seeing huge investments into both chemical and mechanical capacity expansions which is fantastic, however, feedstock supply should not be taken for granted. By 2030 we are anticipating around 18 million tonnes of plastics recycling capacity in Europe alone, which begs the question, how will the additional feedstock be sourced? How do we ensure its quality? Will there be enough for everyone?   AMI’s new event looks to understand these issues better and find the opportunities that exist in the waste plastics value chain. We have an agenda packed with knowledge and insight.   If you are a mechanical or chemical recycler, an investor, working in waste management or a plastics processor or brand owner, this event is relevant to you! Feedstock supply for recycling has repercussions within the whole plastics industry as it can cause a bottleneck in the supply of recyclates, which is increasingly relevant with recycled content targets coming soon!   I hope to see you at the event. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
