Nieuwe maatregelen voor plasticsrecycling na schrappen Plastic Taks en NCPN
De Circulaire Plastic Tafel heeft nu een set van maatregelen voorgesteld die moeten leiden tot een toename van plasticsrecycling in Nederland. Lees er meer over in dit artikel.
‘Voor effectieve plasticrecycling is meer nodig dan innovatieve technologie’
Nederland moet en wil meer plastic recyclen, maar het ene na het andere recyclebedrijf gaat failliet. De hoop is nu gevestigd op de zogenoemde Circulaire Plastic Tafel.
Advanced Carbohydrates Biorefinery: From Waste to Value
Every year, large amounts of tertiary cellulose end up being incinerated. This results in unnecessary CO₂ emissions and loss of valuable material. The ACB project develops an alternative route: one...
Circular Aromatics – Turning Waste into High-Value Circular Plastics
As the world moves toward net-zero carbon goals, the demand for sustainable materials is rapidly increasing. Plastics, essential in countless applications, must evolve to meet the demands of a circular,...
Pyrolysis of Dutch mixed plastic waste: Lifecycle GHG emissions and carbon recovery efficiency assessment
This study explored the potential of pyrolysis as a novel approach to managing plastic waste and achieving plastic circularity in the Netherlands.
STARBATCH- Sodium Tetra chloro Aluminate Recyclable BATtery CHemicals
Storage of electricity will play a major role in the energy transition. Lithium-based batteries are now being produced on a large scale, but require expensive resources that are not widely...
Pyrolysis of Polyolefin-Enriched Mixed Plastic Waste Streams: Effects of Pretreatments and Presence of Hydrogen during Pyrolysis
Pyrolysis is considered a promising method for the chemical recycling of mixed plastic waste streams, yet systematic experimental evaluations of these mixed streams remain limited. Herein, the pyrolysis of a...
Pyrolysis of polyethylene: chemical kinetics, mass transfer, and reflux system
This paper focusses on the interplay between reaction kinetics and mass transfer rates in pyrolysis of polyethylene (PE), and the effect of adding a reflux system to the semibatch reactor...
Don’t let waste go to waste
The current system for proving that waste has been recycled into a safe product is difficult to navigate and the requirements for the End-of-Waste status are not clear. How can...
Losses and emissions in polypropylene recycling from household packaging waste
In this study the LEMPLAR consortium replicated a typical high-quality post-consumer polypropylene (PP) recycling process to investigate its losses and emissions and study potential improvements.
