Removal of BioPlastics from mixed polymer waste flows for chemical recycling

“生物循环是为了解决目前日益严重的生物基塑料（可生物降解和生物衍生塑料）引入问题而创建的。虽然它们被标榜为“可堆肥”，但这只能在专门的设施中完成，而且要做到这一点，生物基塑料必须与传统塑料分开。目前还没有技术上的解决方案。随着生物基塑料市场预计将在未来12年内增长50倍，该行业找到解决这一问题的办法至关重要，以防止绝大多数废塑料包装最终进入垃圾填埋场。生物循环是解决这个问题的一种颠覆性方法。与厌氧消化（AD）行业合作，其中主要合作伙伴EcoiDeam （EI）是该项目的管理提供商和市场途径，我们将探索高剪切酶洗涤系统的可行性，该系统旨在从传统塑料中去除生物基塑料，这些塑料是AD过程的废物。EI将与Impact Solutions （IS）合作，IS是一家领先的塑料测试和研发公司，拥有成功开发和商业化回收技术的记录，并且拥有不断增长的创新技术组合。双方已经建立了合作关系，并且处于开发这项技术的理想位置。”

"BioCycle has been created in order to solve a present, but growing problem with the introduction of bio-based-plastics (both biodegradable and bio-derived-plastics). While they are marketed as ""compostable"", this can only be done in specialist facilities, and to do so, the bio-based-plastic must be separated from the conventional plastic. There is currently no technical solution to this. With the bio-based-plastic market expected to increase by 50 fold over the next 12 years, it is crucial for the industry to find a solution to this problem, to prevent a large majority of waste plastic packaging ending up in landfill.BioCycle is a disruptive approach to this problem. Working with the anaerobic digesting (AD) industry, of which lead partner EcoiDeam (EI) are a management provider and the route to market for this project, we will explore the feasibility of a high shear, enzyme wash system, designed to remove the bio-based-plastics from the conventional plastics which are a waste product of the AD process. EI will work with Impact Solutions (IS), a leading plastic testing and research & development firm, who have a track record of successfully developing and commercialising recycling technologies, and who have a growing portfolio of inventive technologies. Both partners already have a working relationship, and are ideally placed to develop this technology."
