Utilization of waste plastic and rubber for commercial purpose

There are more and more waste plastics and waste rubber, but there is a big commercial value in this waste plastic and rubber. Utilization of waste plastic and rubber for commercial purpose are many, for example, waste plastics can be made into plastic pellets as a raw material for the production of plastic products. Waste rubber can be made into recycled rubber powder and can be used as a raw material for plastic track.

However, the manufacturing cost of the process is high, the sales channels are narrow, and the production life of the products is long, which restricts the further development of this project.

Plastic pellets and rubber powder not a good plastic and rubber disposal method

Another utilization of waste plastic and rubber for commercial purpose is refining them into fuel oil through pyrolysis plant. Comparing to the granulantion, the commercial value of pyrolysis is higher than that of granulation. Because the heavy oil produced is a consumable item, the use period is short, the liquidity turnover is fast, and the profit is much higher, which has attracted much attention. Waste plastics and rubber pyrolysis plant can produce fuel oil, steel wire and carbon black. These products are consumables, have a short life cycle and high commercial value.

Pyrolysis plant refining plastic and rubber to energy

First of all, pyrolysis oil is used as an industrial fuel. It is mainly sold to steel plants, power plants, boiler plants, glass factories and other factories that need heating. The price is about 700 USD/ton, and the oil yield of rubber is as high as 50%. The oil yield is even higher in plastics, different plastic has different oil yielding rate and the average oil yield is above 60%.

Secondly, the steel wire, mainly in the waste tires, there is about 15% of the steel wire in tires, the steel wire is mainly sold to the steel factory as raw materials, the market price is 200USD / day.

The last is carbon black, which can be burned as a fuel because carbon black has a calorific value of about 7000 Kcal and can also be used as a raw material for the printing industry.

In summary, if you are considering utilization of waste plastic and rubber for commercial purpose, pyrolysis is the best choice.
