Pyrolysis is the most promising method for treating plastic waste since it can convert waste plastics into high value‐added products, which have significant application potential. In this study, kinetic and thermodynamic analyses of spent fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) catalysts were performed for testing their applicability in catalytic cracking of mixed plastics. Thermogravimetric analysis data were obtained at different heating rates under an inert atmosphere, and the synergistic effect between the mixed plastics and activation energy reduction before and after pretreatment of the spent FCC catalysts was discussed. Through a variety of model‐free methods (Flynn‐Wall‐Ozawa, Kissinger‐Akahira‐Sunose, Starink, and Kissinger methods), it is proved that the spent FCC catalyst facilitates the reduction in activation energy required for the pyrolysis of plastics, which is reduced by approximately 13% from 278 to 242 kJ/mol. The catalytic performance of spent FCC catalyst was improved after pretreatment, while its activation energy decreased by approximately 21% from 278 to 220 kJ/mol. The Friedman‐Reich‐Levi method was used to fit the curve, and the number of mechanism functions in plastic pyrolysis was determined according to the slope of the fitting curve. The C‐R method was used in combination with the Malek method to determine the optimal mechanism function. Moreover, kinetic parameters of the spent FCC catalyst for catalytic cracking of plastics were obtained via kinetic studies on the pyrolysis of mixed plastics, which provided theoretical guidance for industrialization of plastic pyrolysis.

“…Ideally, a food packaging would consist of materials that will maintain the quality and safety of the food indefinitely with no degradation over time. Polymeric food packaging materials are essential in modern life today to preserve and maintain good health while adding to economic and substances distribution of food [1]. Many countries have established a standard and enforced legislation to abide in the hygiene need of plastic especially in food packaging.…”

Low molecular weight materials from low density polyethylene (LDPE) were detected and the results were compared with the legal regulations imposed by China and the United States of America. Four types of films were tested using ASTM D 5227 imposed by USA while two resin samples underwent a test according to the standard method GB/T 5009.58-2003 of China Regulation. Applicable legal compliance used was the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) and China Food Hygiene Law. All LDPE grades from local manufacturers comply with US FDA CFR 177.152 Specification 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 except for D2 grade which failed to meet the specification 2.2. For China Food Hygiene Law, C1, D1 and D2 samples failed to meet the specified standard. This study also highlighted the result obtain testing the resin and film for both compliance tests.
