B

Places like these are where most of the world's plastics end up-in landfills, and a fair amount

of it ends up in the world's oceans, but a new British recycling firm wants it to end up here.

There is a great demand right now for recycled material. There's a great deal of interest in

getting recycling into the plastics industry specially, and so we are really going to facilitate the

ability to get plastic into the circular economy.

The firm called Recycling Technologies has built a machine to break down plastic, and then

turn it into fuel oils or material to make new plastics. Basically, currently all they do is that they

make a hydrocarbon soup and then they distill that out at different temperatures. so at the higher

temperatures the waxes () separate out, then they cool it a bit more, and the heavy oiL and then

the light oil, and then the rest comes out. It's naphtha, the liquid that doesn't condense (浓缩 ).

Their process is creating a heavy fuel oil that works for marine vessels. We call it a clean crude,because it has very little sulfur () in it,  in fact almost none, which certainly also fits with the new regulations for marine fuel, where they're asking for much lower sulfur around the world. So it's a very valuable product.

Right now, the machine is capable of recycling about 7000 tons of plastic a year. This is much more a piece of stand-alone industrial equipment. The company has set the ambitious goal of selling 1300 0f their recycling units around the world during the next decade, and expects they will be able to recycle 9 million tons of plastic each year.
