What is calorific value of polyethylene?

The calorific value of polyethylene typically ranges from 40 to 45 megajoules per kilogram (MJ/kg). This value can vary based on the specific type of polyethylene (e.g., low-density or high-density) and its processing methods. Polyethylene's high calorific value indicates that it can release a significant amount of energy when burned, making it an important consideration in waste management and energy recovery processes.
