Pyrolysis encompasses a suite of thermochemical processes that decompose long‐chain polymeric structures of waste plastics into smaller hydrocarbons, gaseous by-products and solid residues. Conducted ...

In 1950, global plastic production was about 2 million tons. It's now about 400 million tons—an increase of nearly 20,000%. As a material, it has seemingly limitless potential. Plastic is inexpensive ...

During pyrolysis, the plastic polymers are broken down into smaller molecules, resulting in the production of liquid oil, fuel source gases such as methane, propane and butane, and char. Char is the ...

(THE CONVERSATION) In 1950, global plastic production was about 2 million tons. It’s now about 400 million tons – an increase of nearly 20,000%. As a material, it has seemingly limitless potential.

Images of plastic mountains at landfills and islands of floating plastics in our oceans demonstrably show that we are living in an age of immense consumer consumption. A rising worldwide population ...

Regulators have spent tens of millions subsidizing ‘advanced’ recycling facilities, which release carcinogens and give off more greenhouse gases than making plastic from crude oil. Last year, I became ...
