Pyrolysis encompasses a suite of thermochemical processes that decompose long‐chain polymeric structures of waste plastics into smaller hydrocarbons, gaseous by-products and solid residues. Conducted ...

In 1950, global plastic production was about 2 million tons. It's now about 400 million tons—an increase of nearly 20,000%. As a material, it has seemingly limitless potential. Plastic is inexpensive ...

Dr. Byungwook Hwang's research team from the CCS Research Department at the Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER) has successfully developed a process that applies the circulating fluidized bed ...

The mounting global plastic waste crisis has compelled scientists and engineers to seek novel solutions. Among the various technologies being explored, the pyrolysis of plastic waste has emerged as a ...

Co-pyrolysis combines municipal sewage sludge with lignocellulosic biomass under oxygen-limited, high-temperature conditions to convert waste streams into value-added products. By harnessing ...

In a recent article published in the journal Scientific Reports, researchers investigated the pyrolysis of waste tires to analyze product yields and characteristics, aiming to evaluate its potential ...

Between 2003 and 2024, World Bank support has helped to significantly improve solid waste management in low- and middle-income countries. This has been achieved through holistic financing approaches ...
