PLASTIC RECYCLING: TREATMENT OF PLASTIC WASTE

As per research data published in Science Advances journal, around 9% of plastic waste generated gets recycled, 12% is incinerated, and 79% is accumulated in landfills or the natural environment. If current production and waste management trends continue, roughly 12,000 Mt of plastic waste will be in landfills or in the natural environment by 2050.
Beamcomplex manufactures compact size modules for electron beam crosslinking of finished polymer products from waste plastic products.

Types of manufactured products from plastic waste:
  • polyethylene pipes for sewerage, storm drains, for irrigation of farmland
  • fencing and soundproofing systems for railways and highways
  • road surface, bike paths, sports grounds, decking
  • road barrier products
  • capacity
  • and other products

Characteristics of polymer products after electron-beam crosslinking. In the manufacture of polymer products from various types of plastic waste, it is necessary to carry out work on electron-beam crosslinking, after which the strength characteristics increase, which exceed the characteristics of products made from primary raw materials.

APPLICATION OF MODIFIED POLYMER POWDER
The application of electron beam treatment technology will enable effective plastic waste recycling.
Plastic waste treatment ensures its further reuse due to modified properties of treated polymers.
  • Polymer products: pipes, reservoirs and containers, road dividers;
  • As an additive in production of other polymer items.
