Assessing the feasibility of chemical recycling via steam cracking of untreated plastic waste pyrolysis oils: Feedstock impurities, product yields and coke formation

Marvin Kusenberg et al.

Summary: Chemical recycling of plastic waste to base chemicals via pyrolysis and subsequent steam cracking shows potential to overcome limitations in current plastic waste recycling methods. In this study, steam cracking of two types of plastic waste pyrolysis oils was evaluated, and it was found that they have high ethylene yields but also produce significant amounts of heavy products. Contaminants were identified as a key driver for coke formation.

Addressing the complex challenge of understanding and quantifying substitutability for recycled plastics

Ruben Demets et al.

Summary: Plastics are versatile materials with varying properties, making them suitable for a wide range of applications. Evaluation of technical recycling quality is crucial for determining the potential substitution of virgin plastics with recycled materials. This study proposes a concept for calculating effective technical substitutability and assesses the application-specific functionality of commercially available recycled plastics.

Moving from linear to circular household plastic packaging in Belgium: Prospective life cycle assessment of mechanical and thermochemical recycling

Didem Civancik-Uslu et al.

Summary: Belgium is transitioning to collect more household plastic packaging waste separately for increased recycling. Results of a Life Cycle Assessment show that mechanical recycling has a better net environmental impact compared to thermochemical recycling, mainly due to avoided burdens of virgin materials.
