Pyrolysis a way forward for nature and waste
Using pyrolysis for solving the waste problem of plastic and tyres. This waste is a source of energy and a possibility for recycling. The oil generated can be used for energy or new plastics.
Waste plastic
It is well known that plastic has become an environmental problem.
Plastic waste has infiltrated our society and environment to such an extend that it is nowadays found in our bodies, in animals and fish. The oceans have become a soup of all sizes of plastic waste, entering the food chain. It is still common in various countries to use landfill sites to dump our plastics.
Waste tyres
Waste tyres have already been a problem for many years.
Enormous amounts of tyres are spread over our planet. Often buried in landfill sites.
However tyres are a source of energy. This combined with new char recycling technology offer a good opportunity.
(Bio-)char
Char is a side product of pyrolised materials. This product can be upgraded to carbon black (again saving CO2 emissions). In the case of the pyrolysis of organic materials the char (biochar) can be used as a fertiliser and improvement of soil.
Biochar contributes to the saving of CO2 emissions in a big way.
One solution for various problems and products
In recent years pyrolysis has become noticed as a solution for the waste problems of plastic and tyres. This process is also being used to produce biochar in order to save CO2 emissions.
Pyrolysis, once started, will produce its own energy to run the process. Geelhoed will advise on the appropriate solution for a particular project.
