[ Focus on Chemical Machinery and Equipment Network ] "Of the 9 billion tons of plastic products in the world, only 9% are recycled.
This figure is shocking.
" At the forum on June 6, 2019, Zhu Xingxiang, President of China Circular Economy Association Said.
Chemical machinery and equipment network hot attention to plastic products of chemical machinery and equipmentThis figure is shocking.

Studies have shown that since 1950, humans have produced 8.
3 to 9 billion tons of plastic, which is more than four times the size of Mount Everest.
In 2019, the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) released the "Accountability System to Solve the Plastic Problem" report stating that unless major changes are made in the management of plastic waste, another 104 million tons of plastic may enter the ecosystem by 2030 .
The global plastic system is expected to double the amount of plastic pollution on the earth, and the most severely affected is the ocean.

A few days ago, researchers from the University of Delaware Center for Plastics Innovation (CPI) developed a new method that can convert disposable plastic waste (plastic bags, yogurt containers, plastic bottles and caps, packaging, etc.
) into Ready-to-use molecules for jet fuel, diesel and lubricants.
Compared with other technologies, it requires 50% less energy and does not add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.
Even if they are mixed together, the process can handle various plastics.

The conversion process can be completed in just a few hours at a low temperature of about 250 degrees Celsius.
UD's project lead researcher and Unidel Dan Rich Richard Dean Rich (Unidel Dan Rich) said: "Chemical conversion is the most versatile and reliable method to combat plastic waste.

The UD research team used a chemical process called hydrocracking to break down plastic solids into smaller carbon molecules, and then added hydrogen molecules to either end to stabilize the material for use.
Although hydrocracking is not a new technology, the research team further converts substances into branched molecules so that they can be converted more directly into final products to make high-value lubricants or fuels.

Reducing plastic waste by chemically converting it into fuel can play an important role in promoting a circular economy, in which materials are recycled into new things when their useful lives expire, rather than being thrown away.
The recovered components can be used to make the same thing again, or in the case of using fuel, it can be recycled into higher-value products.
In this way, both economic and environmental benefits can be created.
