“…It was reported that the tensile strength and flexural strength of the CNT reinforced composite material were significantly improved to a maximum of 15% and 19% respectively, with the addition of the recovered CNTs. Moo et al [135] produced carbon nanotubes from various different plastics using a two-stage quartz pyrolysis-catalysis reactor. They evaluated the product CNTs as electrode materials in electrocatalysis, such applications include their use as fuel cell electrode material for oxygen reduction reaction.…”

More than 27 million tonnes of waste plastics are generated in Europe each year representing a considerable potential resource. There has been extensive research into the production of liquid fuels and aromatic chemicals from pyrolysis-catalysis of waste plastics. However, there is less work on the production of hydrogen from waste plastics via pyrolysis coupled with catalytic steam reforming. In this paper, the different reactor designs used for hydrogen production from waste plastics are considered and the influence of different catalysts and process parameters on the yield of hydrogen from different types of waste plastics are reviewed. Waste plastics have also been investigated as a source of hydrocarbons for the generation of carbon nanotubes via the chemical vapour deposition route. The influences on the yield and quality of carbon nanotubes derived from waste plastics are reviewed in relation to the reactor designs used for production, catalyst type used for carbon nanotube growth and the influence of operational parameters.

Preparation of Iron‐ and Nitrogen‐Codoped Carbon Nanotubes from Waste Plastics Pyrolysis for the Oxygen Reduction Reaction

A novel method for the preparation of iron‐ and nitrogen‐codoped carbon nanotubes (Fe‐N‐CNTs) is proposed, based on the catalytic pyrolysis of waste plastics. First, carbon nanotubes are produced from pyrolysis of plastic waste over Fe‐Al2O3; then, Fe‐CNTs and melamine are heated together in an inert atmosphere. Different co‐pyrolysis temperatures are tested to optimize the electrocatalyst production. A high doping temperature improves the degree of graphite formation and promotes the conversion of nitrogen into a more stable form. Compared with commercial Pt/C, the electrocatalyst obtained from pyrolysis at 850 °C shows remarkable properties, with an onset potential of 0.943 V versus RHE and a half‐wave potential of 0.811 V versus RHE, and even better stability and anti‐poisoning properties. In addition, zinc–air battery tests are performed, and the optimized catalyst exhibits a high maximum power density.

The current dominating production and consumption model is based on the linear economy (LE) model, within which raw materials are extracted-processed-consumed-discarded. A circular economy (CE) constitutes a regenerative systemic approach to economic development which views waste as a valuable resource to be reprocessed back into the economy. In order to understand the circular strategy for a systemic change from an LE to a CE as a means of resolving the issue of plastic waste, this research aims to map current circular strategy trends across the system perspective contained in the literature relating to plastic CE literature. The novelty of the research lies in the mapping and review of the distribution of comprehensive circular strategies within the 9R framework across the entire system perspective (e.g. micro-meso-macro) down to its sub-levels in the literature on a plastic CE. The bibliographic mapping and systematic literature review iindicateed that the majority of the research focused on recycle (R8), followed by refuse (R0), reuse (R3), and reduce (R2). Certain circular strategies are more appropriate to handling certain plastic materials, despite CE's favoring of prevention and recycling over incineration. Recover (R9) is often used to process mixed and contaminated plastic. Recycling (R8) is the most popular circular strategy and the most applicable to plastic material with three recycle trends, namely; mechanical recycling, chemical recycling and DRAM (Distributed-Recycling-and-Additive-Manufacturing). Prolonging the product life through refurbishing (R5) is not applicable to plastic due to its material limitations. Reduce (R2) popularity as circular strategy reflects the preference to reduce consumption, either by launching campaigns to prevent waste or increasing production efficiency. Research on Rethink (R1) has largely focused on rethinking product design, consumer and organization behavior and perceptions of CE. Refuse (R0) strategy is an adoption of bio-based plastics which have a similar function to fossil-based plastics.
