Hearing tomorrow on the timely @JessicaGiannino bill to ban so-called "#ChemicalRecycling":
We have a proposed plant in #TempletonMA
We have @TownOfBrookline sending an old #ArtificialTurf field to the #Texas plant covered in this recent, relevant article:

Interesting work by Chen & Xu driving poly(valerolactone) to higher molecular weights yielding significant improvements in thermomechanical properties. They also achieve very high recovery of monomer via acid catalyzed depolymerization. I wish I knew rheology better to know if these properties will actually make PVL competitive with polyolefins.

Chemical recycling is NOT "#recycling" of plastics.
#SingleUsePlastics = #PlasticWaste = #plasticpollution

The UK government does have money - millions, if necessary- and it chooses to put them in the wrong pockets. End of.

Good account on talks in Switzerland on guidelines related to the #BaselConvention on hazardous wastes, highlighting the #plastics industry‘s attempts to promote language on #ChemicalRecycling in the technical report as a mean of channelling this into the #PlasticsTreaty too! https://twitter.com/tonyrwalker1/status/1611731394316718081
