Mixed plastic waste – Sustainable valorization solutions for material and energy recovery
Mixed plastic waste is a challenging waste stream to handle due to its heterogeneous composition and it usually ends up being incinerated or landfilled contributing to environmental challenges such as carbon dioxin emissions and leachate.
This webinar organized by Task 36 aims at presenting different pathways for the sustainable valorization of mixed plastics waste: mechanical sorting, thermal processes and chemical recycling that allow material recovery or transformation into high-value products.
