Itsmenandhas wants to know Plastic to fuel-oil through pyro-gasification.... Is it Possible? 6 months ago
Plastic (PP,PE,PS) wastes are converted to fuel-oil through pyrolysis process.
Is it possible to produce fuel-oil from all kind of plastic (with some exceptional like PVC) wastes through Pyro-Gasification..? -

Arunpillai wants to know Recycling Plastic 7 months ago
I personally feel that recycling is one of the most simplest steps that can be taken by a 'busy' individual in an effort to stay sustainably. Especially when it comes to plastic which is the most harmful for our environment. But is recycling plastic as confusing as this article makes it to be?

Nivethitha posted a question Difference between bioplastics,bio-based plastics and biodegradable plastics 1 year ago
There is often a marked confusion for a lay man when it comes to bio based plastics and bio degradable plastics. The most common assumption is that a bio based plastic will degrade and is not durable. Could anybody precisely differentiate between the two terminologies “bio based” and “bio degradable”?

"several petrochemical (co-)polymers exist that are biodegradable. Usually, the share of biogenic carbon in the plastic determines its bio degradability." Are some petrochemical polymers biodegradable? I did not know that! Would like to have some examples And what is the meaning of biogenic carbon? I thought all carbon in petroleum originated from bio-sources, and as a consequence, all carbon in polymers will also be biogenic?? Someone please clarify

Narsi wants to know Waste plastic to diesel recycling and gasification facility set for UK 9 months ago
Approval has been given in the UK to build a facility which will produce over 4.2 million litres of diesel from over 6,000 tonnes of end-of-life plastic.
Bristol City Council gave the green light to waste management firm SITA UK's application to build an end-of-life plastics to diesel facility in Avonmouth and to double the capacity of a previously approved recycling facility.
Called the "Bristol Resource Recovery Park", the site will comprise a plastics recovery facility, gasification plant and also recycling centre. The end-of-life plastic facility will process items such as yoghurt pots and meat trays into diesel fuel. Around 4.2 million litres of specification diesel is expected to be produced each year from 6,000 tonnes of end-of-life plastic.

Polymers such as cellulosic ethers and inorganic cellulosic esters are used for non plastic applications. Cellulose Nitrate, which is an inorganic cellulosic ester, is used as a base material for photographic emulsions. Other cellulose inorganic esters such as cellulose sulfates, cellulose phosphate and cellulose borates are also considered for non plastic applications. Cellulose ethers such as carboxymethylcelluloses (CMC), hydroxyethylcelluloses (HEC) and hydroxypropylcellulose (HPC) are used very broadly in construction, food, personal care, pharmaceuticals, paint and other specialty industrial applications.

Oxo Biodegradable (OBD) plastic is polyolefin plastic to which has been added very small (catalytic) amounts of metal salts. These catalyze the natural degradation process to speed it up so that the OBD plastic will degrade when subject to environmental conditions to produce water, carbon dioxide and biomass. The process is shortened from hundreds of years to years and/or months for degradation and thereafter biodegradation depends on the micro-organisms in the environment.

Thermal recovery is the term for all exothermic waste management processes which yield energy and/or heat. Incineration (combustion) is the most prominent example. The calorific value of bioplastics and the clean product composition allow bioplastics to be recovered thermally. Due to the high level of renewable resources in bioplastics products, they can be used to produce renewable energy if, for example, they are incinerated with energy recovery (sometimes also called waste-to-energy). This method is applicable to all bioplastics.
