In August 2025, the ten-day INC-5.2 negotiations on the Global Plastics Treaty concluded in Geneva. As a continuation of the 5th Session of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee, this meeting aimed to negotiate a legally binding international instrument on plastic pollution. Over 2,600 delegates from 183 member states and more than … Read more
As climate change intensifies, reducing high-impact greenhouse gas emissions has become a global priority. While carbon dioxide often dominates discussions, other gases with higher global warming potentials (GWPs) pose even greater short-term threats. Addressing these emissions requires innovative solutions – biochar is one of them. What is Global Warming Potential? … Read more
In the practice of the plastic circular economy, advanced technologies can only realize their true value if they seamlessly integrate into existing supply chains and address real-world challenges. Pyrolysis technology can convert mixed waste plastics into high-quality pyrolysis oil. But how can the “circular value” of this oil be recognized … Read more

In recent years, the world is facing increasingly severe environmental challenges. Therefore, the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This goal aims to achieve global economic, social and environmental sustainable development by 2030. Among them, biochar, as an innovative agricultural and environmental management technology, plays an important role in achieving … Read more
Globally, about 4 billion waste tires are buried or stockpiled, with approximately 1.8 billion new tires discarded each year. Through pyrolysis processing, these tires can be converted into valuable by-products—including pyrolysis carbon black (PCB). On average, every 10 kilograms of automotive tires contains roughly 3 kilograms of carbon black, resulting … Read more
In the recycling and processing of waste tyres, the pyrolytic carbon black grinding and granulation process plays a crucial role. With the increasing emphasis on environmental protection and resource recycling, pyrolytic carbon black is not only widely applied in the rubber industry. It also holds significant economic and environmental value. … Read more
With the advancement of carbon reduction goals and the circular economy, the resource utilization of waste plastics and end-of-life tires has become a focal point in the chemical and energy industries. Through pyrolysis, they can be converted into usable liquid pyrolysis oil. However, how can we ensure that such oils … Read more
