Berkeley scientists develop polyolefin depolymerisation technology

Iranpolymer/Baspar Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley have developed a depolymerisation technology to chemically recycle polyolefins. In a new paper, the team described the method as a scalable, energetically and environmentally viable solution to hard-to-recycle plastics. Unlike pyrolysis, the…

Renewable energy powers POM depolymerisation in new study

Iranpolymer/Baspar  Plastics recycling through depolymerisation has been successfully demonstrated mainly for PET, polystyrene and polylactic acid. Now, a research team at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has shown that electro-chemical depolymerisation of polyoxymethylene, or POM, is also feasible. POM is…
