Resource recovery of post-consumer plastic waste using pyrolysis

Resource recovery of post-consumer plastic waste using pyrolysis

The world today generates vast amount of post consumer plastic wastes, which causes many knotty issues and challenges on present plastic wastes management. Our fast exhausting hydrocarbon fossil fuels have increased the cost of plastic production. Recovering hydrocarbon resources from post consumer...
