Transforming thermoplastics into gasoline

Applications: Thermoplastic recycling

Around 79% of yearly produced plastics reach landfills, while just 9% get recycled. Chemical recycling offers promise, transforming plastic waste into valuable products. This innovation focuses on an energy-efficient process, catalytically breaking down polyolefins into fuels. It aims to overcome the challenge of selective and efficient plastic decomposition, paving the way for sustainable solutions.

Features	Benefits
Capable of producing high quality gasoline fuel directly from a mixture of polyolefins.	Allows thermal plastics to be converted into valuable products without previous separation.
Hydrocarbons typically found in gasoline (C5-C12 hydrocarbons) can be selectively produced at high yields.	Higher product yield and selectivity compared to current chemical recycling methods, such as pyrolysis.
The process can be carried out at milder temperatures than existing chemical recycling methods.	Scalable to industry due to the reduced energy consumption and lower costs.
Capable of proceeding without deactivation.	Increased catalyst lifetime.
