The world is literally awash with plastics and this book
practically provides a broad overview of plastic recycling
procedures and waste management. With the huge amount of plastics
floating in the oceans, fish and other sea creatures are directly
suffering the consequences. On land, city leaders and planners are
banning one-use plastics as well as plastic bags from grocery
stores in an effort to stem the use. Many countries have made
official announcements and warnings concerning the pollution caused
from plastic wastes. These urgent developments have stimulated the
author to study the problem and write Polymer Waste Management.
Plastic recycling refers to a method that retrieves the original
plastic material. However, there are many sophisticated methods
available for the treatment and management of waste plastics such
as basic primary recycling, where the materials are sorted and
collected individually. In chemical recycling, the monomers and
related compounds are processed by special chemical treatments.
Other methods, such as pyrolysis, can produce fuels from waste
plastics. These methods and others are treated comprehensively in
the book. This groundbreaking book also discusses: General aspects,
such as amount of plastics production, types of waste plastics,
analysis procedures for identification of waste plastic types,
standards for waste treatment, contaminants in recycled plastics.
Environmental aspects, such as pollution in the marine environment
and landfills. The advantages of the use of bio-based plastics.
Recycling methods for individual plastic types and special
catalysts.
