    Turning plastic waste into a resource

    Now that's thinking outside the square, Bob


    Turning plastic waste into a resource ? Science Features (ABC Science)
    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    Plastics and tyres in electric arc furnaces perhaps. Blast furnaces? Maybe not.

    Some plastics are suitable for blast furnaces injection - polypropylene etc. Some are not - polyvinyl chloride (PVC) etc.

    Tyres contain reasonable of levels zinc. Not something you want to put in your blast furnace.

    Correct.

    We are utilising it only in Steel furnaces - not Iron Making...
