The Digest’s 2023 Multi-Slide Guide to Bio-Optimized Technologies to keep Thermoplastics out of Landfills and the Environment (BOTTLE)
by Jim Lane (Biofuels Digest) Current plastics waste management and recycling approaches are limited. Recycled plastics often lower quality and value; Mechanical recycling not applicable to all polymers; and, there is little economic incentive for plastics reclamation. Can we apply expertise in biomass conversion to develop economically viable, sustainable solutions for plastic waste that go beyond conventional approaches? BOTTLE Consortium leader Gregg Beckham of NREL presented these slides at DOE’s Project Peer Review. READ MORE
