Chemical Recycling
This is your About Page. It's a great opportunity to give a full background on who you are, what you do, and what your websiteIt's been about 150 years since humans started using plastic. It's been 150 years since it was created to replace elephant ivory, and now it's an era where you can't live without plastic. Some say we're living through the Stone Age, the Bronze Age, the Iron Age, and the Plastic Age. However, the characteristic of plastic, which was once highlighted as an advantage, is now a disadvantage and has become a representative pollutant that pollutes the soil, ocean and atmosphere. Recently, overcoming these shortcomings, more and more cases are using waste plastics for new uses. In particular, the increasing number of technologies using waste plastics as fuel for reuse is attracting attention from all industries.has to offer.

Using waste plastic as an alternative fuel, it's actually active beyond what's possible
Waste plastic recycling technologies are largely divided into mechanical recycling technologies and chemical recycling technologies. Mechanical recycling, which has been the most commonly used so far, means manufacturing recycled plastic through mechanical treatment such as crushing, washing, sorting, and mixing waste plastic. Because the process was relatively simple and early commercialization was possible, it could be generalized.
Recently, however, chemical recycling technologies, which have been relatively underdeveloped, are attracting new industry attention. Chemical recycling is a technology that decomposes polymer-type plastic through chemical reactions. As waste plastic 'pyrolysis oil' made through chemical recycling technology can be used as a raw material for petrochemical and refining processes instead of crude oil, the share of chemical recycling in the plastic recycling market is gradually expanding.
pyrolysis oil
Pyrolysis oil refers to oil such as diesel and kerosene made by heating waste plastics such as vinyl at a high temperature of 300 to 500℃ in an oxygen-free state. As the raw material of plastic is crude oil, it can be decomposed by heat on waste plastic to extract useful oil. Putting the produced pyrolysis oil into the petrochemical and refining process not only contributes to the reduction of plastic waste, but also to establish a resource circulation system and contribute to carbon neutrality, so commercialization is needed as soon as possible.
