Beskrivning

Advances in Waste Plastic Recycling and Upcycling discusses recent developments in the mechanical and chemical recycling of waste plastics for the production of fuels, chemicals, and materials. The plastic chemistry and status of plastic recycling is introduced, and the book addresses optimization and upgrading procedures that aim to improve the quality and the environmental impact of plastic conversion as well as the techno-economic, lifecycle assessment, and social impacts of chemical recycling. In addition, the book covers how to effectively manage and recycle global waste plastics and various plastic pathways.

Highlights recent progress in plastic recycling processes and technologies, optimizing and enhancing the efficacy of various recycling pathways
Aims to connect technology development with commercial prospects, covering plastic recycling policies, economics, and management to achieve cost-competitive and sustainable outcomes
Examines the ecological impact of different plastic recycling methods
