Dublin, Nov. 24, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Technology and IP Analysis of Upcycled Polymers” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s providing.
Although use of polymers is steadily rising globally, the speed of recycling these plastics continues to be lower than 10%, leading to roughly 50% of the plastic waste getting dumped in landfills. This happens primarily as a result of current chemical and mechanical recycling processes have low recycling charges, excessive power consumption, and are sometimes costly to scale, which hinders their adoption. In response, stakeholders in plastic recycling are creating new upcycling approaches that may enhance the recycling fee of polymeric waste, are power environment friendly, and scale simply.
This analysis focuses on current and rising polymer upcycling applied sciences and the way they enhance and add worth to plastics’ round financial system. The research consists of an in-depth evaluation of assorted technological developments in upcycling and the efforts to extend their industrial potential.
The analysis categorizes upcycling applied sciences into three distinct classes: polymers to polymers, polymers to molecules, and polymers to supplies. These classes are decided by the character of the ultimate product generated by way of the method of upcycling polymeric waste.
The research embody a variety of polymeric waste supplies, together with however not restricted to polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polycarbonate (PC), polystyrene (PS), blended polymeric waste (MPW), and polyurethane (PUR), every of which undergoes distinct upcycling approaches.
