The rising number of plastic waste in the nation that needs to be disposed is propelling growth of the U.S. plastic-to-fuel market
Rising demand for alternative sources of creating fuel because of depleting natural sources is predicted to fuel the future market growth of the U.S. Plastic-to-Fuel market. The rising number of plastic waste in the nation that needs to be disposed of is also expected to augment the overall market growth. This plastic is often made from crude oil and other petroleum products. It has become one of the vital sources of energy. The demand for this plastic sometimes exceeds the need for its supply. The process of conversion of plastic waste materials into fuels is called polymerizing and it involves various chemical reactions between hydrogen and oxygen in an aqueous solution. This converts plastic into fuel using advanced technology. Some of the known plastic-to-fuels are polyethylene terephthalate (PET) which is a by-product of polymerizing textile fibers, naphthalene (NPH) which is a by-product of naphthalene combustion, and Ethylene oxide (EO) which can be oxidized further to p...
