Hard-to-recycle thermoset waste plastics reborn as hydrogen

A research team has successfully developed the Republic of Korea’s first continuous oxy-fuel combustion-based process for producing high-quality syngas from waste plastics, including hard-to-recycle thermoset resins. The team was led by Dr. Chong-Pyo Cho from the Energy Convergence System Research Department at the Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER).
