Success in reaction engineering in the field of plastics recycling

Researchers of the ETH Zurich in collaboration with Buchi demonstrated that optimal stirring parameters play a key role in chemical plastics recycling. They introduced a criterion to enhance mixing performance and catalyst effectiveness to treat polyethylene and polypropylene. All experiments have been done in Buchi’s technologically leading PPR (Parallel Pressure Reactor) system.
