What is Waste Plastic Pyrolysis?

Waste plastic pyrolysis is a recycling chemical process that uses thermal decomposition in the absence of oxygen to convert the plastic waste feedstock into recovered valuable products such as fuel oil, gas and char. This process fragments the polymer chains within the waste plastic into smaller hydrocarbon molecules without combustion, meaning that the emissions common to incineration and combustion are avoided. The process can treat every type of plastic including difficult-to-recycle plastics such as polyethylene, polypropylene and polystyrene. The integration of pyrolysis technology into a circular economy is considered to provide increasing benefits in addressing plastic pollution. This is also used to recover energy, while reducing the need for fossil fuels, giving an environmentally friendly and cost-effective way to dispose of plastic waste: new fuels and other chemical resources are generated from this technology.

Market Trend and Drivers of Waste Plastic Pyrolysis:

Plastic waste threatens the globe. Regulation prevents incineration and landfill for plastics. Industrialization and urbanization expand. These factors mainly drive the waste plastic pyrolysis market. This has contributed toward an important increase in plastic consumption. Industries and governments worry about sustainable waste management methods because people use plastics more. There are economic incentives to make the recycling of waste plastics into pyrolysis oil char and gas attractive to investors and therefore profitable. Market growth is driven by the improved scalability and efficiency of pyrolysis reactors, growing awareness of circular economy and the topicality of energy recovery and reducing carbon footprint. Pyrolysis products are also among the better options in developing countries where fuels can become expensive.
