Adrian Haworth has written an original article about a proposed circular solution to plastic waste.
“Plastic has a significant role to play in achieving a sustainable future. Global production has topped 300 million metric tons per annum, a figure expected to double in the next 20 years. However, the systems for dealing with plastic waste lag significantly behind other materials, with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation reporting in January 2016 that only 14% of plastic packaging is collected for recycling and just 10% actually recycled.
At Recycling Technologies, we have created a process to produce a quality hydrocarbon, Plaxx™, comparable to virgin material, with scalability and a high return on investment.”
