Examples of disposal of polymers
Landfill - :( PVC recycling - hazardous when burnt or put in landfill. Modern techniques dissolve the polymer and reprecipitate it. Requires polymers to be sorted. Waste polymers as fuel - burnt to generate steam and turn turbines. Feedstock recycling - processes which turn waste polymers into monomers, gases and oil, similar to crude oil. Polymers can be unsorted!
