Plastics waste management and resource recovery in India
Exponential growth in plastic production and consumption has evoked concerns for its effective management. Within a decade, India has witnessed a substantial growth of 890% and 340% in plastic production and per capita consumption, respectively. Plastic recycling industries have mushroomed autonomously and accounts for 47% of annual recycling. Further, unscientific collection, transportation, ...

Catalytic upgrading of higher 1-alkenes from polyethylene thermal cracking by modified Wacker oxidation
The economic success of feedstock recycling procedures for plastic wastes is increasingly demanding the conversion of the starting residue into more valuable chemicals. Thermal cracking of polyethylenes leads to the preparation of equimolar mixtures of n-paraffins and 1-alkenes within the C2–C100 range. These 1-olefins can be catalytically upgraded by selective oxidation processes to more ...

Metal In Plastic Waste
The global focus on managing plastic waste continues to intensify. There is an emphasis on improving collection to ensure plastic waste does not enter the ecosystem. Once collected, the next issue is dealing with that plastic waste, by either re-introducing into the plastics process as a raw material or using it in another product such as plastic roads. However, being able to convert plastic ...

Advancing Creative Circular Economies for Plastics via Technological-Social Transitions (ACCEPT Transitions)
Herein we studied the kinetic modelling of the pyrolysis process for one of the most common plastic wastes, such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) as understanding the pyrolysis process and the degradation mechanism is crucial for scale-up and reactor design. The focus was to evaluate and predict PET pyrolysis when transitioning to a low-carbon economy and adhering to environmental and ...
