Researchers have discovered a way to turn notoriously difficult-to-recycle PVC plastic into a key ingredient used in high-performance lubricants such as engine oil. The technique could give mountains of plastic waste a valuable second life while making lubricant production more sustainable.
Virginia Tech researchers have discovered a chemical method that converts PVC waste into polyalphaolefin, creating sustainable engine lubricants.
Researchers at Virginia Tech have developed an innovative method to transform polyvinyl chloride (PVC), one of the most difficult plastics to recycle, into a high-performance lubricant used in engines. The technique could contribute to reducing plastic waste and making lubricant production more sustainable. Innovative method for PVC recycling The process developed by Guoliang ‘Greg’ Liu's team involves dissolving PVC in a solvent, followed by th…
