Dow Chemical Company has successfully demonstrated the use of recycled
plastic to generate energy. The successful pilot test measured how
plastic that has been reused and recycled to the full extent possible
can be used as fuel for an ultimate end-of-life option instead of going
to a landfill for disposal. The pilot test found that 96% of available
energy was recovered after incinerating 578 lbs of used plastic in a
kiln at one of Dow's waste treatment facilities. The energy recovered
was equivalent to 11.1 million Btu's of natural gas and was used as fuel
for Dow's incinerator during the test. The trial was completed in
compliance with regulatory permits. SEE MORE FUKUOKA, Japan (ICIS)--Ibrahim Fibre will have a new 230,000-235,000 tonne/year polyester staple plant in Pakistan by 2012, a senior company executive said on Thursday.SEE MORE HA NOI — The consumer price index (CPI) jumped 2.21 per cent this month
