Continuous pyrolysis technology has long been positioned as the industrial endpoint for thermochemical waste conversion. Compared to batch systems, continuous operation promises higher throughput, improved thermal efficiency, and more stable product output. However, despite its theoretical advantages, large-scale deployment of continuous pyrolysis systems remains constrained by a series of technical, economic, and operational barriers. The transition from pilot-scale validati

Establishing a plastic pyrolysis project in the United States faces significant regulatory hurdles. The U.S. maintains a fragmented regulatory landscape where federal, state, and local agencies impose overlapping requirements on waste management, emissions control, and industrial operations. A pyrolysis plant handling post-consumer plastic must comply with Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and Clean Air Act
