CHEMICAL RECYCLING OF PLASTIC WASTE
AROUND 520,000 TONNES OF WASTE WITH A HIGH PLASTICS content and a material value of at least EUR 12.4 million end up in landfill in the Basque Country every year. The main plastic waste streams involved are: plastic rejects from waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) treatment and from packaging sorting plants; end-of-life vehicle (ELV) shredders; paperboard treatment; and mechanical-biological treatment plants (MBT).
Pyrolysis treatments are very versatile chemical recycling processes for recovery of some waste, but several factors continue to determine their implementation. The downstream oil/gas sector plays a key role in the definitive implementation of improved industrial processes based on these technologies.
PETRONOR leads the REQUIPLAST project with the collaboration of GAIKER Technology Centre.
