Advanced #Recycling Hits a Rough Patch
#AdvancedRecycling or #chemicalrecycling, uses heat and chemical reactions to break down #plastic into its molecular building blocks.
In the past weeks, two of just a handful of advanced recycling sites in US have suspended operations: Freepoint Eco-Systems and Braven Environmental
Both closures followed environmental violations cited by state regulators involving harmful air pollution and hazardous waste.

New documents reveal the plastic industry knew recycling was difficult and expensive since the 1970s. Despite this, plastic production has doubled in the last 20 years.

Rereading the Pew Charitable Trust’s “Breaking The Plastic Wave” report to prep for tomorrow’s visit to Kenyon by one of the project’s leaders, Dr. Palardy. It’s equal parts sobering & inspiring. A tour-de-force of deeply informed, open-source analysis & system-level thinking. In short, no single solution (collect & dispose, #recycle, reduce & substitute) can do it - system change is needed. #plastic #OceanConservation #oceanplastics #reuse #chemicalrecycling

I really enjoyed working with Anne and Alex on this piece about #chemical #recycling for @ConversationUS
our take-home messages are that a) a recent #meta_analysis concludes plastic-to-#plastic chemical recycling can have a climate benefit, but plastic-to-energy doesn't
b) most #pyrolysis #oil is destined for transportation fuel, &
c) the plastic waste stream is too complex & contaminated for most #chemicalrecycling so most plants don't reach capacity -

Interesting work by Chen & Xu driving poly(valerolactone) to higher molecular weights yielding significant improvements in thermomechanical properties. They also achieve very high recovery of monomer via acid catalyzed depolymerization. I wish I knew rheology better to know if these properties will actually make PVL competitive with polyolefins.

Thoughtful bit of work by Odelious that considers the relative ceiling temperatures of blocks in a copolymer to build selective chemical recycling to monomer #CRM systems.
