Making it easier to recycle plastics. Researchers report new approaches could dramatically increase the amount of plastic waste that can be successfully recycled. Source 3b.

Currently, our city’s recycling yards will take all plastics. Whether the end point recycling machinery can reuse it or not, I don’t know. Ever if just used for playgrounds or other places, finding a use for the stuff is essential.

Plastic Recycle

Recycling plastic is something that we need to do better of all over the US and the world. The amount of plastic that is making its way into landfills or out into the oceans is not good for the environment at all. We can and should do much better and this new method may help that a lot.

Bio-renewable process could help ‘green’ plastic. Plastics are often derived from petroleum, contributing to reliance on fossil fuels and driving harmful greenhouse gas emissions. To change that, scientists are trying to take the pliable nature of plastic in another direction, developing new and renewable ways of creating plastics from biomass. Source 7g.

Creating new ways to source plastics is all fine and dandy, but if one first world countries use the new tech, it’s not enough. Far too much plastic waste is in our environment, mostly from the lack of third world recycling.

Millions of tons of plastic waste could be turned into clean fuels, other products. A new chemical conversion process could transform the world's polyolefin waste, a form of plastic, into useful products, such as clean fuels and other items. The conversion process incorporates selective extraction and hydrothermal liquefaction. Once the plastic is converted into naphtha, it can be used as a feedstock for other chemicals or further separated into specialty solvents or other products. Source 6v.
