MUMBAI, India, Oct. 11 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202517058200 A) filed by H&E Recycle Tech Ltd., Jerusalem, on June 17, for 'cracking process for making thermoplastic from municipal solid waste.'
Inventor(s) include Azulay, Amit; Gutfarb, Jonathan J.; Ben-Zaken, Yaniv; and Nebenzahl, Asaph.
The application for the patent was published on Oct. 10, under issue no. 41/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A method of converting raw municipal solid waste (MSW) to a composite material with thermoplastic properties, involves heating the MSW having a liquid content to a first pressure level, the first pressure level being sufficient to enable a temperature of the MSW to exceed an atmospheric boiling temperature of the liquid content, and instantaneously reducing the first pressure level of the heated MSW to a second pressure level. The instantaneous reduction enables the liquid content to instantaneously boil, to instantaneously cause evaporation of substantially all the liquid content, and to transform the heated MSW into the composite material having thermoplastic properties."
The patent application was internationally filed on Nov. 20, 2023, under International application No.PCT/IB2023/061704.
