Plastcon - Platic Waste Converted Into A Resource - The Process Explained - Flowdiagram With Pie Chart

Plastic waste can be converted into a resource through a 9-step pyrolysis process. The plastic is first shredded, sorted, densified, and then heated in a reactor to vaporize it. The vapors are condensed to produce crude oil, gas, and carbon black. The crude oil can be refined into fuel for heating, ships, and trucks. The gas can power the pyrolysis system. The carbon black can color new plastics or be used in asphalt production, converting plastic waste into useful energy and material resources.

– Plastic waste converted into a resource

7. Refining
Through the distillation column,
the crude oil is refined
3. Sorting
The plastic feedstock
goes through a sorting
mechanism that removes
pollution like glass, metal
2. Shredder
and/or organic materials
The plastic is cut
into small pieces

What do we convert
the plastic into?
