How does the process of Chemical Recycling work?

August 8, 2018

Chemical Recycling transforms plastic into basic petrochemical inputs, such as monomers and hydrocarbons. Their plastic component elements serve as raw material for making new products - which may or may not be plastic. One of the advantages of chemical recycling is that we can use different plastic mixtures, which often complicates mechanical recycling. This technique also ensures plastic production with the same quality as an original polymer.

Since the 1940s, PFAS have been manufactured and used in a variety of industries around the globe, including in the United States. PFOA and PFOS have been the most extensively produced and studied of these chemicals. Both are very persistent in the environment and in the human body. Exposure to certain PFAS can lead to adverse human health effects.

You must do everything reasonably practicable to eliminate the risks of working in heat. Where the risk cannot be eliminated, it must be minimised as much as reasonably practicable. Different workers may react differently to heat conditions. 5 Heat is not just a hazard when working outdoors on hot days. Consider the conditions inside your workplace and what hazards may be present.
