Unlike other plastic processing companies, our technology allows the conversion of almost any unsorted and dirty plastic waste ( HDPE, LDPE, LLDPE, PP, ABS plastics, foamed plastics, nylon, etc. except PVC), even very dirty ones.
The company "EcoPark" has
developed and built industrial equipment for low-temperature thermal
destruction of mixed plastic waste. This method allows the pretreatment of a wide
range of solid organic waste (Pre-Step in the waste recycling
chain). The proposed technological approach is perspective
both from a technological point of view and from an ecological point of view of
safety, as it reduces environmental pollution and provides the possibility of
technically relatively simple processing of any mixed plastic waste without its
prior preparation, with the aim of obtaining products in demand on the market. Ecological safety is determined by the fact that
thermal destruction occurs without the presence of oxygen, which means that no combustion
reactions occur. Although both are thermochemical reactions, there is a big
difference between combustion and thermal destruction. As an example, we can
look at the results of a study by the company BASF, which shows that the thermal destruction of mixed plastic waste produces 50%
less CO2 than the incineration of mixed plastic waste (Science of the total Environment, 2021, (769), 144483).
The thermal destruction method used by the
company "EcoPark" for the processing of mixed plastic waste is a Pre-Step
in the waste recycling chain. The primary product of thermal destruction was
used as a strategic starting material without any kind of purification or
modification for large chemical and petrochemical companies.
The "EcoPark" company offers an efficient and
environmentally friendly solution for primary recycling of mixed plastic waste. The technological solution and
overall vision offered by "EcoPark" are based on the sustainable development goals
of the European Union (According to the
Waste Framework Directive 2008/98/EC) and the UN (United Nations Organization), which stipulate that:
- EU countries must
reduce the amount of municipal waste sent to landfills to 10% or less of the
total municipal waste generated by 2035;
- the share of plastic packaging waste that is recycled should be at least
50% in 2025 and 55% in 2030
- promoting a circular economy or the principles of the sustainable development goals for plastic waste;
- obtaining alternative fuel - synthetic and
paraffin fuels.
