Its annual volume of plastic production in Canada was 4.7 MT in 2020. Unfortunately, only 9% of it is recycled. The NRC, in collaboration with the Applicant, is looking for technical pathways to enhance the sustainability of plastic products fabricated and sold in Canada and to support Canada’s Net-Zero Waste strategy and circular economy. The purpose of this project is therefore to develop different innovative solutions to address hard-to-recycle plastic wastes, such as plastic containers and packages, agricultural film, apparel textile, plastic-coated paper, by converting them into valuable carbon black products with different characteristics to be used in plastics, metals, absorbents, and cements applications., description french : Valorisation des déchets plastiques difficiles à recycler en carbone utile, expected results english : In the short term, anticipated outcomes will be strengthened collaborations across industry, academia, and government to support research excellence. In the medium term, anticipated outcomes will be the development of new and potentially disruptive technologies with collaborators. In the long term, find collaborative solutions to public policy challenges and create stronger innovation systems., expected results french : À court terme, les résultats prévus seront des collaborations renforcées entre l'industrie, le milieu universitaire et le gouvernement pour soutenir l'excellence en recherche. À moyen terme, les résultats attendus seront le développement de nouvelles technologies potentiellement perturbatrices avec des collaborateurs. À long terme, trouver des solutions collaboratives aux défis des politiques publiques et créer des systèmes d'innovation plus solides., additional information english : nan, additional information french : nan, owner organization : nrc-cnrc, owner organization title : National Research Council Canada | Conseil national de recherches Canada
