Recovering value from contaminated plastic wastes

回收技术公司的工艺能够化学回收塑料废物。我们决心减少填埋或焚烧的塑料量。英国320万吨塑料垃圾中有超过四分之一被填埋，因为它们被有机材料或其他塑料污染。我们面临的挑战是找到一种方法，从这些废物流中回收塑料，减少不断增加的塑料污染。本项目旨在接受这一挑战！我们的RT7000技术能够通过热裂解将回收的塑料加工成超低硫烃产品，品牌为Plaxx。Plaxx是一种相当于原油的合成物。它可以用作低硫燃料或化学原料（石脑油）来制造新塑料。材料回收设施（MRF）的城市废物，厌氧消化（AD）工厂的食品污染塑料包装废物和水处理设施的回收塑料垃圾（RPL）是塑料废物的一些最大来源。我们可以使用智能光学分类技术从MRF的废物流中收集和分离塑料。这样，我们就可以将塑料从焚烧中转移出来，减少其对二氧化碳的影响。酶基生物净化系统可用于AD和RPL废物，以分解有机污染物。除了绿色和可持续外，酶降解还相对便宜，它释放出可溶解和可发酵的糖，这些糖可以再循环用于其他过程。这些技术（光学和酶）可以结合在一起，使RT能够将各种受污染的废物纳入其核心技术。一旦使用预处理模块处理污染，分离的塑料废物就可以使用RT7000进行处理。这种综合方法将使英国减少垃圾填埋，提高回收率，并开发创新技术来处理受污染的塑料废物。此外，将每吨塑料废物从废物转化为能源（EfW）工厂转化为Plaxx燃料，可节省高达2.5亿吨二氧化碳当量。这节省了7000吨塑料废物，相当于每年3500多辆汽车的排放量！！！！！

Recycling Technologies' process is capable of chemically recycling plastic waste. We are determined to reduce the amount of plastic that is either landfilled or incinerated. More than a quarter of the UK's 3.2MT (Million Tonnes) of plastic waste is landfilled because of its contamination with organic material or other plastics. The challenge is to find a way and recover the plastic from this waste stream and reduce the ever-increasing plastic pollution. This project aims to take on this challenge!Our technology, RT7000 is capable of processing the recovered plastic via thermal cracking into an ultra low sulphur hydrocarbon product branded as Plaxx. Plaxx is a synthetic equivalent of crude oil. It can be used as a low sulphur fuel or chemical feedstock (naphtha) to make new plastics.Municipal waste at Material Recovery Facilities (MRF), food contaminated plastic packaging waste from Anaerobic Digestion (AD) plants and Recovered Plastic Litter (RPL) in water treatment facilities are some of the largest sources of plastic waste.We can use smart optical sorting techniques to pick up and separate the plastic from streams of waste from a MRF. In doing so, we can divert the plastic away from incineration and reduce its CO2 impact.Enzyme-based biological cleaning system can be used on AD and RPL waste to break down the organic contamination. In addition to its green and sustainable credentials, enzymatic degradation is relatively cheap and it releases soluble and fermentable sugars that can be re-cycled for other processes.The technologies (optical and enzyme) can be combined together to give RT the ability to accept a wide variety of contaminated waste into its core technology. Once the contamination is processed using a pre-treatment module, the separated plastic waste can be processed using the RT7000. This combined approach will allow UK to reduce landfilling, increase its recycling rates and develop innovative technologies to handle contaminated plastic waste.Furthermore, the diversion of each tonne of plastic waste away from Energy from Waste (EfW) plants and converted into Plaxx fuel creates up to 2.5 TCO2e savings. This saving for 7000 tonnes of plastic waste is equivalent to the emissions of more than 3,500 cars every year!!!!!
