The results of the test are presented, with considerations and conclusions. JAPAN... 

The Japanese Plastic Waste Management Institute is developing a process to convert PVC and other plastic waste materials to fuel oil through pyrolysis. In Eiuope, a free market for plastics waste is now being established by the European Plastics Converters over the internet. The company says it will be possible to establish market prices for recyclates at European level on a supply and demand basis. The European market for recycled plastics is currently worth around 1.18bn US dollars and is predicted to reach 2.53bn US dollars by the endof2001. WORLD...

Figure 23 shows the result of comparisons of life cycle CO2 emission of Bionolle, starch-Bionolle compound, LDPE, and polystyrene. Data for producing LDPE and polystyrene are taken from a report of the Plastic Waste Management Institute [17]. The disposal method assumed is incineration. CO2 emissions from both Bionolle and starch-Bionolle compound are lower than those of LDPE or polystyrene.

Nippon Steel, in conjunction with the Plastic Waste Management Institute, offered the government use of an experimental plant, with a capacity of 40 tons per day. The Government, in turn, subcontracted the performance of the experiments to Nippon Steel. The experiments were started in January 1978, and completed in August 1979, yielding almost all the expected results.
