Title
Technical and Environmental Performances of Alternative Thermochemical Treatments for Mixed Plastics Waste
Conference Dates
June 5 – 10, 2022
Abstract
There is a general and important effort to increase circularity of plastics, by proposing new behaviours and styles of life (“how to use and reuse plastics”), new eco-design criteria (“design for recycling” and “design from recycling”), innovative recycling processes able to increase the quantity and quality of recovered resources (“Plastics-to-Plastics” but also “to-Chemicals”, and “to-Fuels”). The attention in mainly focused on mixed plastics waste (MPW) whose treatment shows the major technical difficulties, due to the co-presence of various and generally non-compatible, polymers, with different kinds of additives, pigments and fillers.
