According to a report published by Xinhua on July 3, a team of Chinese researchers has created an entirely new technology for recycling polyethylene waste that could reduce costs while producing a variety of useful materials.
new polyethylene recycling method
Plastic made from polyethylene is remarkably flexible and hardly biodegradable. The University of Science and Technology of China has developed an innovative recycling method that makes use of pre-existing technologies. This gives beneficial byproducts.
The researchers harnessed the expertise of the petroleum industry to create an innovative recycling technique because polyethylene and petroleum have comparable chemical compositions and structures.
hydrogen breathing
The researchers came up with a “hydrogen breathing” method, which involved employing a catalyst to reconstitute waste plastic into valuable ring-shaped hydrocarbons by dissolving its chemical structure.
Pharmaceuticals, dyes, resins and fibers can then be manufactured using them as raw materials.
