Enhanced Feedstock Recycling of Post-Consumer Plastic Waste

Enhanced Feedstock Recycling of Post-Consumer Plastic Waste

Feedstock recycling of waste plastics is becoming more crucial as a method to convert plastics back into a source of useful platform chemicals. Although thermal cracking presents easier options, the products have limited utility and present a higher energy burden than the method proposed in this pap...
