Recupera ocean clean
The document summarizes Recupera's process for recovering waste plastics from oceans through low-temperature conversion (LTC) to syngas and further processing to hydrogen and other valuable chemicals and industrial gases. Recupera operates a commercial demonstration plant in Slovenia and aims to construct a 1 tonne per hour plant to process plastic residues into syngas, hydrogen, and other outputs. The process provides an economically feasible and environmentally friendly solution to the problems of plastic pollution in oceans and landfills.

- 7. SOLUTION to PROBLEMS ANALYSIS Plasticpollution is a planetary threat, affecting nearly every marine and freshwater ecosystem globally. In response, multilevel mitigation strategies are being adopted but with a lack of quantitative assessment of how such strategies reduce plastic emissions. We assessed the impact of three broad management strategies, plastic waste reduction, waste management, and environmental recovery, at different levels of effort to estimate plastic emissions to 2030 for 173 countries. We estimate that 19 to 23 million metric tons, or 11%, of plastic waste generated globally in 2016 entered aquatic ecosystems. Considering the ambitious commitments currently set by governments, annual emissions may reach up to 53 million metric tons per year by 2030. To reduce emissions to a level well below this prediction, extraordinary efforts to transform the global plastics economy are needed. Science Vol 369, 6510, 16 September 2020.
