Opportunities and challenges for the application of post-consumer plastic waste pyrolysis oils as steam cracker feedstocks: To decontaminate or not to decontaminate?

Marvin Kusenberg et al.

Summary: Thermochemical recycling of plastic waste to base chemicals is expected to dominate in the next decade, but the use of plastic waste pyrolysis oils presents safety and operational risks due to contaminants. Evaluating the feasibility of steam cracking these alternative feedstocks depends on the contaminants.

Quality of recycling: Urgent and undefined

Davide Tonini et al.

Summary: Quality of recycling is a concept that lacks a clear definition and operational framework. This lack of clarity hinders the development of effective recycling and circular economy policies. This article reviews existing studies, synthesizes different approaches, and suggests a way forward for research to support circular economy policy measures and monitoring. The definition of recycling quality should consider the technical characteristics of the recyclate and its suitability for different end applications. Preserving functionality through functional recycling is crucial for resource substitution in the circular economy.

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.

Life cycle assessment of plastic waste end-of-life for India and Indonesia

Edward Ren Kai Neo et al.

Summary: Developing countries like India and Indonesia face challenges in managing plastic waste, leading to widespread plastic pollution with negative impacts on the ecosystem and human health. A study comparing the environmental impact of plastic waste end-of-life (EOL) treatment in India and Indonesia found that India had lower environmental impact due to higher rates of mechanical recycling. Open burning was identified as a major contributor to climate change, while landfills were a major contributor to marine ecotoxicity. Sensitivity analysis identified key parameters that influence waste management outcomes. Future scenario analysis suggests that increased investment in mechanical recycling can help reduce mismanaged plastic waste and support carbon reduction goals.

Allocation at the point of substitution applied to recycled rare earth elements: what can we learn?

Dieuwertje L. Schrijvers et al.

Summary: This paper demonstrates and discusses the application of allocation procedure allocation at the point of substitution (APOS) on recycled products, showing that recycled YOX has lower impacts than primary YOX for most impact categories. The study provides useful information on the future sustainability of rare earth element supply chains.

Life cycle environmental impacts of chemical recycling via pyrolysis of mixed plastic waste in comparison with mechanical recycling and energy recovery

Harish Jeswani et al.

Summary: The study compares the environmental impacts of chemical recycling through pyrolysis with other plastics waste management options and virgin plastics production. Results indicate that pyrolysis has lower climate change impact and life cycle energy use, but higher other impacts compared to mechanical recycling, energy recovery, and virgin plastics production.
