Many polymer waste fractions are hard to recycle mechanically. For these fractions, a relevant recycling technique could be incineration followed by CO2 capture with the aim of manufacturing new polymer materials by reacting CO2 with hydrogen (H2). This is the focus of the project ‘CO2 to Monomers’ at the CHEC research centre, DTU Chemical...
Only 16 per cent of the more than 250 million tons of plastic we use every year globally is recycled. If, however, we could recycle more plastic and at the same time get something useful out of the CO2 emitted by incineration of residual plastic waste, we would optimally be able to achieve full recycling of all plastic. This is the goal...
