The “Aftermath” of the Widespread Use of Plastics, Pyrolysis Equipment is Providing Solutions

Plastics, with their excellent physical properties and deep processing capabilities, are extensively utilized across various industries and have become an indispensable synthetic material in modern life. The total usage of plastics in packaging, construction, and electronic products is on an upward trend. With the significant increase in global plastic consumption, waste plastics have become an "aftermath" of convenience, emerging as a major source of pollution. According to statistics, nearly 400 million tons of waste plastics are generated globally each year, which not only resist natural degradation but also pose a significant threat to the environment, affecting the quality of soil and water. With the rise in environmental awareness and advancements in technology, the market prospects for the resource utilization of waste plastics are becoming increasingly broad, and it is expected to become a key area in the construction of a waste recycling system.

The unregulated production, use, and disposal of plastics can lead to the wastage of resources and energy, cause ecological and environmental pollution, and even impact public health and safety, contributing to the formation of "white pollution." This has become an increasingly prominent environmental issue. As such, plastic recycling and treatment have emerged as a key focus in environmental conservation efforts.

Waste plastics can be converted into fuel oil through plastic pyrolysis equipment, achieving both the harmless treatment and volume reduction of waste plastics while yielding products with high economic value. The plastic pyrolysis process is a technology that transforms high-molecular polymers in plastics into small-molecule compounds through thermal decomposition. This process involves breaking down plastics into monomer oil and gas at a certain temperature under oxygen-free or oxygen-deficient conditions. This technology not only efficiently recycles and utilizes waste plastics, significantly enhancing resource utilization efficiency, but also reduces reliance on traditional fossil fuels by converting plastics into fuel oil, contributing to energy conservation and emission reduction. Particularly for mixed waste plastics and multi-layer film plastics that are difficult to recycle, pyrolysis technology demonstrates superior resource utilization capabilities. Compared with traditional physical recycling methods, this approach is more inclusive, as it has no specific requirements regarding the types, cleanliness levels, or sizes of plastic products, all of which can be processed collectively.

China's Niutech Environment has strong equipment manufacturing capabilities, focusing on the research and development of pyrolysis technology and equipment production. Its technology holds an internationally leading position, and its waste plastic disposal product, the "Industrial Continuous Waste Plastic Pyrolysis Production Line," has won the highest award in China's environmental protection science and technology. This production line is capable of processing complex polymer compounds composed of synthetic resins and various additives. It can handle a wide range of materials, including everyday plastics such as PE, PP, and PS, as well as industrial-grade ABS plastics, plastic cable sheaths, and domestic waste, converting them into valuable energy through this advanced technological equipment. Moreover, the production line ensures safe, continuous, high-efficiency, and stable operation. The production line features an adjustable heat conduction area, allowing for even heating of materials to ensure the high efficiency of the pyrolysis process. Additionally, Niutech's complete plastic production line is equipped with a specialized waste heat recovery and flue gas purification system, which reduces fuel consumption and minimizes flue gas emissions.

Niutech's technology and equipment have been implemented in projects across multiple countries in Europe, America, and Asia. These projects have made significant contributions to addressing local plastic pollution issues while generating substantial economic benefits.
