Catalytic Depolymerization is a low temperature processing line used to break down waste plastics from the polymer chains to the hydrocarbon products ([[pyrolysis]]), which are pyrolysis oil, pyrolysis gas and a solid residue-carbon. This process is carried out at lower temperatures of 400-500°C so heating rather than burning occurs which means this technology does not produce harmful emissions or negatively impact the environment.<ref name="ref1">[https://www.lbgmoravia.cz/en/technology/waste-processing/depolymerization-of-plastics-p53/ Plastic depolymerization]</ref>

==== The Catalyst ====

A catalyst is used to support the endothermic cracking (breakdown of hydrocarbon molecules) because it results in the reaction products achieving greater uniformity. The catalyst is continuously added to the process, which ensures continuous and stable activity, and so balanced thermal conditions with a favourable effect on uniform product quality. Also, the catalyst lowers the transformation reaction temperature from around 800°C to temperatures in the range of 400-500°C. The lower temperature then results in reduced fuel consumption for heating.<ref name="ref1" /><ref name="ref2" />
