(prw) -- Dow is set to run a one-day pilot test to determine if
plastic waste can be used as fuel in its operations. The trial will take place
before the end of the month at Dow’s headquarters in Midland, Mich.
During the test, plastic waste of all shapes, sizes and resin types will be
burned in order to recover its energy, Dow plastics sustainability leader Jeff Wooster said in
a 21 July interview.
Waste used in the test has been provided by Dow employees, customers and partners. Most of the
waste will be composed of polyethylene and polypropylene, Wooster said, while items that are
already commonly recycled — such as PET and HDPE bottles and PE stretch film — won’t be used in the
trial.
