    摘要: Provided is a system, process, and method for the recycling of waste plastics. The recycling system, process, and method may comprise sorting of comingled waste. The sorting of comingled waste may include sorting into, for example, like polymer groups or families of plastic materials. The recycling system, process, and method may comprise processing of a sorted waste, including processing of the sorted plastic waste. The processing of the sorted plastic waste may include grinding and mixing, a supercritical or subcritical fluid treatment and sterilization, and extrusion to create and provide a homogenous precursor plastics blend. The precursor plastics blend may then be further extruded and refined to remove water and other low molecular weight material, and may be customized with additives to provide a value-added recycled plastic material. The additives may include colorants, flame retardants, fillers, fiber, identifiers, and the like, and may be combined in a ratio with virgin plastics, to impart specific properties on the value-added recycled plastic material based on its subsequent use in remanufacture and tracking. One or more of the recycling steps or phases may provide at least one of speed, accuracy, or cleanliness and minimization of human contact with waste materials.

    摘要: A process (1, 2) for processing feedstock containing cotton fibres and PET fibres, the process (1, 2) comprises: i. heating a suspension of feedstock containing cotton fibres and PET fibres in water at a temperature above 180° C. to produce a mixture comprising char; ii. removing the water from the mixture comprising char; iii. adding a base to the mixture comprising char to produce a terephthalate salt in a liquid phase; iv. removing the char from the liquid phase to produce dried char; v. acidifying the liquid phase to produce terephthalic acid.
