Dedicated Chemical Recycling for Specific Plastics

Apart from MPW and PVC, several feedstock recycling processes have been developed for some specific plastics. In this respect, the most important plastics are  

Coke product ( 0.1 wt% of both lead and chlorine), which may be used as fuel in a cement kiln 

Metal concentrate (up to 60 wt% lead), which may be further purified and re-used 

Organic condensate, which may be used as fuel for the process. 

A great variety of PVC materials have been tested in the process thus far cable, cable trays, flooring material, window frames, artificial leather, packaging, pipes, flexible hoses, ring binders and roofing material. This indicates that the process is robust and can handle a broad range of PVC materials. In terms of chlorine content, there are no restrictions. With the completion of the pretreatment pilot plant, the contents of other plastics and metals may now be reduced significantly.
