A new technology will remove color odor and other contaminants from post-use polypropylene the type of plastic commonly used for yogurt cups and bottle caps. Researchers say the result is a resin that s as good as new. A large new facility based on this technology
Plastic Facts. In a study published in Science Advance researchers estimate since the 1950s 8.3 billion tons of plastic has been generated around the world and only 9 per cent of those plastics have been recycled. It is estimated that an additional 12 billion tonnes of plastic
Around 300 million tons of plastic waste is produced every year and about half of which is the single-use type. Consequently 91 of plastic waste ends up in landfills instead of being recycled every year. For every ton of plastic recycled around 680 gallons of oil and 5 774 kWh of energy are saved.
Pumping Oil Out of Plastic. Founded in 2011 Recycling Technologies based out of a town in southwest England has raised £2.1 million (about 3 million) not including a reported £2.6 million pounds ( 3.6 million) in government grants. The recycling startup has built a machine that vaporizes all types of plastics and petroleum-based products
Plastic recycling is a hot topic that is constantly in the headlines and the market growth potential is huge. According to the most recent published figures just 31 percent of all plastic waste collected in Europe was recycled with the remainder either incinerated (causing CO2 emissions) or landfilled (squandering land).
Including diverted waste Canada generated 33.4 million tonnes of waste in 2012. Of this 25 million tonnes were disposed of in landfills or incinerators. 3 The remaining 8.4 million tonnes (25 per cent) were diverted from landfills by recycling reuse or composting. 4 Of the diverted tonnage 40 per cent was paper and related materials and
From this bar graph it can be clearly seen that PVC PP and HDPE contribute more toward the consumption of plastic. Consumption of plastic is readily increasing due to various advantages coming from versatility low cost and high chemical stability .Polyethylene and polypropylene are a major component of plastic waste from domestic refuse .More the consumption more is the need of recycling
Describing Pyrowave s modular microwave-based technology the company s CEO Jocelyn Doucet comments "With traditional recycling technologies the market applications of recycled plastics are very limited because of contamination or plastic degradation during the process which reduces its quality and potential for applications.
The Zero Plastic Waste Initiative aims to effect change across the plastics lifecycle to increase waste collection improve value recovery and prevent and remove plastic pollution. It supports projects that use innovative approaches leading to measurable positive impacts to reduce plastic waste and pollution in Canada.
Plastic Waste The Issues • Generally recycling plastics is limited to less than 5 times and not all plastics can be recycled. • Global recycling rate is particularly low and survey report shows that only 6 to 9 recovery rate.
After several instances of Canadian plastic waste turning up overseas in places like the Philippines and Malaysia CBC s Marketplace wanted to track the lifecycle of Canadian plastic.
However clear plastic cannot be used in all cases for example ready meal trays. In other cases businesses are using a special type of black plastic which can detected by NIR technology. In order for this special black to be sorted in the recycling system the waste management companies need to fine tune their NIR equipment.
For the separation of the high-density polymers up to 40 w / v sodium chloride was used. The recoveries of the polymers ranged from 70 to 99.70 . In post-consumer recycled plastic waste
The Solution Canada needs strong standardized rules from coast-to-coast. We are asking the federal government to create a national plastics strategy that gets us to a plastic-free environment by 2025.We need to ban plastics that are toxic or hard to recycle stop companies from making single-use plastics from fossil resources and make the big producers responsible for cleaning up

Jocelyn Doucet says his microwave recycling technology — a novel approach to recycling plastic waste — could play a key role in moving Canada towards a circular economy for plastics. Photo provided by Pyrowave At the time he was working on food waste technologies and
Do Canada and the provinces manage their waste sustainably Including diverted waste Canada generated 33.4 million tonnes of waste in 2012. Of this 25 million tonnes were disposed of in landfills or incinerators. 3 The remaining 8.4 million tonnes (25 per cent) were diverted from landfills by recycling reuse or composting. 4 Of the diverted tonnage 40 per cent was paper and related
The Plastic Recycling Process. The simplest of plastic recycling processes involves collecting sorting shredding washing melting and pelletizing. The actual particular processes vary based on plastic resin or type of plastic product. Most plastic recycling
Loop Industries breakthrough technology allows for all types of waste PET plastic and polyester fiber to be upcycled into high purity PET plastic suitable for use in food-grade packaging like the kind used in water bottles. This includes the PET plastic found in carpets and opaque bottles which ends up in
PureCycle s technology presents a major development in recycling capabilities and focusing on polypropylene is especially notable. It s the second-most used plastic in the world yet only 1
After several instances of Canadian plastic waste turning up overseas Marketplace wanted to track the lifecycle of Canadian plastic. So we bought bales of film plastic ready for recycling hid
Plastic Recycling Guide Just Look at the Symbols. Every plastic has a "chasing arrow" recycling symbol with a resin identification code (RIC) number on the inside. Just because the plastic has this recycling symbol does not mean it is recyclable. The number on the inside of the symbol and the abbreviation are the important factors.
Type of Material. The first type of recycling can be classified by type of material that is being recycled. Glass recycling paper recycling metal recycling plastic and textile recycling and finally electronic recycling. Another type of recycling is composting which is the "reuse of biodegradable waste " like garden mulch or food.
Advanced Recycling Technology Can Move Canada Closer to Zero Plastic Waste Updated Apr 9 Advanced recycling technology solutions have the power to turn plastics that would otherwise be landfilled into reusable feedstock and products with fewer emissions than other plastic disposal methods.
" Chemical recycling is a new sector but the scale at which it is developing specifically for Mura shows both the urgent need for new technology to tackle the rising problem of plastic waste
Together all federal provincial and territorial governments agreed to the Canada-wide Strategy on Zero Plastic Waste that lays out a vision for a circular economy for plastics as well as a two-phase action plan that is being jointly implemented. Provinces territories and municipalities are leaders in the recovery and recycling of plastic waste.
