“This book is a very useful and up-to-date account of the role of polymers in modern society, considering relevant implications of their use, production and disposal throughout their life cycle. The book is clear and well organized following a logical evolution according to the life cycle of polymers. The remarkable characteristic of this book is that it is almost written as a tale, concise and precise, without lacking detail and providing reliable scientific data.” (International Journal of Environmental Studies, 10 January 2011)"...this book provides a study-aid, yet also a comprehensive and current reference tool." (Rapra Abstracts)"...an accessible treatment of this crucial area..." (Materials World, May 2003)"...Comprising eight very comprehensible chapters...." (Chemistry & Industry, 16 June 2003)"...Strikingly designed and conceived..." (Industry & Environment, Jan-March 2003)"...an interesting read and a book I would have loved to have as a student...a book that is difficult to put down, does justice to the history of environmental management, and would make as good a Christmas present as a text. Top marks to the authors for a highly recommended purchase for every personal polymer, materials, and environmental engineering library." (Polymer News, Vol. 28, No. 10, October 2003)"...essential reading for students, as well as a invaluable guide for technologists and industrialists, in the vast arena of environmental and polymer sciences." (International Journal for Applied Sciences, Vol.130, No.10, 2004)"This book is a valuable reference...very illustrative..." (Cellulose Chemistry & Technology, Vol 39 (1/2) May 2005)
