Starting with an overview on types of solid plastic waste (SPW) and their origins, the manuscript continues with a discussion on the different valorization options for SPW. The section on mech. recycling
This paper reviews the current pathways for recycling of solid plastic waste, via both mechanical and chemical recycling. The predominant industrial technologies, design strategies and recycling examples of specific waste streams are reviewed.
Plastic solid waste (PSW) of polymers (like: high density polyethylene (HDPE), low density polyethylene (LDPE), Nylon etc.) is creating new challenges, which
In this Review, we describe technologies available for sorting and recycling plastic solid waste into feedstocks, as well as state-of-the-art techniques to chemically recycle commercial
This report on plastic solid waste management provides an overview of the current state of plastic recycling and management and seeks to provide a look into the future of plastic solid waste management.
In 2016, the world generated 242 million tonnes of plastic waste—12 percent of all municipal solid waste. This waste primarily originated from three regions—57 million tonnes from East Asia and the
In countries with poor solid waste management systems, plastic waste — especially single-use plastic bags — can be found clogging sewers and providing breeding grounds for mosquitoes and pests, and as
Plastic waste leakage. SWDSs are expected to store municipal solid waste (MSW) and PW for decades to centuries, but current understanding of the long
Graphical representation of solid waste composition, important chronological events, plastic production by region, global plastic production and
We emphasize the significance of Waste-to-Energy (W2E) and Waste-to-Fuel (W2F) technologies, e.g., pyrolysis and gasification, for converting difficult-to-recycle
