通过化学回收塑料垃圾产生的油。

DEFINITION

Noun

Oil produced from chemical recycling of plastic waste.

由来
  • 续 2019 年推出的新加坡《资源永续法》（Singapore Resource Sustainability Act）之后，“新生油”研究计划首次于 2020 年在新加坡国会中被提出。
  • “新生油”计划通过塑料循环提高新加坡的资源韧性（resource resilience）并朝向“零废弃国家”(Zero Waste Nation）的目标迈进。
  • 2021 年，国家环境局（National Environmental Agency）宣布新加坡将设置试验厂（pilot facility），对化学回收的塑料垃圾进行一项长达七个月的研究，研究如何产出纯净且无残渣的油。
  • 据新加坡废物生产数据 （Waste Generation Data）显示，2020 年仅有 4% 的塑料垃圾被回收，而每年焚烧的塑料垃圾平均有 908,600 吨。
  • 新加坡目前主要通过机械压缩及粉碎的方式处理塑料废物，也同时运用化学回收法回收塑料垃圾。
  • 在制作新生油的过程中，将塑料垃圾放入热裂解反应器（Pyrolysis Reactor）内，经过约 400 °C 高温的热裂解（Pyrolysis）是关键的步骤之一。
  • 另外，可注入热裂解反应器的塑料垃圾不限于普通垃圾或一次性塑料包装，受污染的塑料也能够被转化成油。
ETYMOLOGY
  • Following the introduction of the Singapore Resource Sustainability Act in 2019, the NEWOil project was first proposed in Parliament in 2020.
  • Through plastic recycling, the NEWOil project increases Singapore’s resource resilience and contributes towards the goal of a Zero Waste Nation.
  • In 2021, the National Environmental Agency announced that Singapore would set up a pilot facility and conduct a seven-month study on how to produce pure and residue-free oil from chemically recycled plastic waste.
  • According to Singapore’s Waste Generation Data, only 4% of plastic waste was recycled in 2020, while an average of 908,600 tons of plastic waste are incinerated yearly.
  • Singapore currently processes plastic waste through mechanical compression and crushing, apart from recycling plastic waste through chemical recycling.
  • To make NEWOil, plastic waste is placed into a pyrolysis reactor, and pyrolysis at a high temperature of about 400°C is a key step.
  • In addition, plastic waste that can be used in the pyrolysis reactor is not limited to ordinary refuse or single-use plastic packaging. Contaminated plastics can also be converted into oil.
例句
继研发出新生水（NEWater）与新生沙（NEWSand）后，我国下来将探讨研究将塑料垃圾制成“新生油”。（《联合早报》，4/3/2020）
SAMPLE SENTENCE
Following the development of NEWater and NEWSand, Singapore will next study the recycling of plastic waste into NEWOil. (Lianhe Zaobao, 4/3/2020)
