将各种技术有效地结合起来，使人类的塑料循环模仿自然的营养循环，是本案例研究的研究重点。各个学科的许多研究都集中在塑料废物对人类和环境造成的各种问题上。研究了一种有效的技术组合的存在，这种技术可以作为一个单元从塑料废物中生产石油，不需要基于电网的电力，可运输，燃烧清洁，几乎没有有毒排放，使人类塑料循环能够模仿自然营养循环。我们对可持续发展模型进行了模拟、验证，并使其适应一系列独特的条件，并与行业利益相关者、政府机构和技术开发人员进行了访谈，以加强用于分析这一非线性挑战的定量和定性方法。该系统中独特的技术组合使其能够适应各种区域环境条件，并仍然模仿自然废物循环。关键的挑战是内部、连续、稳定的热电生产以及生物堆肥。然而，确定最合适的可再生能源的选择将是在不同条件下优化这种仿生过程的关键。
The effective combination of technologies working as a unit to cause the human plastic cycle to mimic the natural nutrient cycle is the research focus of this case study. Many studies in various disciplines have focused on the diverse problems that plastic waste causes to humans and the environment. The existence of an effective combination of technologies working as a unit to produce oil from plastic waste products that does not require grid-based electricity, is transportable and burns clean with near-zero toxic emissions, that enables the Human Plastic Cycle to mimic the Natural Nutrient Cycle is investigated. Proven models were simulated, verified and adapted to a unique set of conditions and interviews were conducted with industrial stakeholders, government agencies and technology developers to strengthen the quantitative and qualitative methods used to analyze this nonlinear challenge. The unique mix of technologies in this proposed system enables itself to be adaptable to various regional environmental conditions and still mimic the natural waste cycle. The key challenges were internal, continuous, stable heat and electricity production as well as biological composting. However, identifying the most appropriate choice of renewable energy sources will be key to optimizing this biomimicry process in diverse conditions.
