Plastic as Fuel of the Future
摘要
A range of technologies have been developed to obtain energy and materials from plastics. This has been focused on nonbiodegradable fossil-derived plastics. These are durable plastics that still retain their chemical structure and calorific value even at the end of their usage life. The ability to recover fuel from fossil-derived plastics is key to a circular economy. This chapter reviews the different technologies available for the conversion of plastic waste into different types of fuel and raw materials.
