Substantial quantities of waste plastic have resulted in detrimental effects on the environment and ecosystems. Thermal pyrolysis is one of the most promising ways in large-scale plastic recycling towards the generation of fuel and useful chemicals. However, there are still drawbacks and limitations in the existing pyrolysis processes for recycling plastic wastes, e.g. low quality due to the difficulty of controlling process temperature, complicated process, and high consumption of protective gas. With the financial support from the EU and the Swedish Energy Agency, we are looking for a postdoc to work on the development of a new thermal pyrolysis process for recycling two types of plastic wastes, glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) from waste wind blade and PVC. This position offers an exciting opportunity to work together with more than 20 industrial partners.
