Verpakkingsschuim van kunststof uit auto’s met kokosolie

End-of-life vehicles, with their plastic, metal and rubber components, are responsible for millions of tons of waste around the world each year. Researchers at the Institute of Macromolecular Chemistry AS CR, Czech Republic found that the plastic components in these vehicles can be recycled with coconut oil and re-used as foams for the construction, packaging and automotive industries.
The team developed a way to recover PC and PUR from waste car plastics with coconut oil and microwaves. This created a renewable and recycled product that did not degrade. An article about the research is published in ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering (Nieuwsbericht ACS, 7 juni 2017).
