Can we use the pyrolysis method as a sustainable waste upcycling process for the treatment of decommissioned wind turbine blades (WTBs)?

Roche scientists propose how to establish a market for production of defossilised organic chemicals, to reduce their environmental footprint.

Spectroscopy is being used to sort different kinds of plastic for recycling. Many plastics that are made from different polymers and require different recycling procedures are colorless and indistinguishable by eye, but techniques such as Raman and infrared spectroscopy, which are sensitive to the molecular vibrations in the sample, can be used to tell them apart.
