Description
The raw material of this dataset is compressed waste foam plastic, and the processing involves crushing the waste plastic and melting it for extrusion and granulation. Electric heating is used in the heating process, and production water is mainly for line circulation and cooling, with no wastewater discharged externally. Particulate matter generated during production is collected and then released into the atmosphere; styrene generated during the melting process is emitted in an unorganized manner. Waste plastic films, packaging bags, and other waste plastics containing impurities, which have certain economic value, are sold externally for treatment.
Activity Description
This dataset represents the process of producing recycled plastic pellets by high-temperature melting of waste EPS plastic. It includes energy and auxiliary material consumption, waste generation, and emissions of air pollutants during the production of recycled plastic pellets.
Process Description
The process of crushing, washing, dewatering, and melt extrusion granulation of waste EPS plastic
