The efficient classification and resource conversion of landfilled refuse can simultaneously realize the secondary pollution prevention and land replacement. This work aimed to investigate the waste plastic resource recovery from landfilled refuse via a novel waterless cleaning method. Composition...

In modern time, the accumulation of waste plastic has become serious health concern for the aquatic life as well as life on land. In present study, the attempt has been made for preparation of microplastics derived from waste plastic. The maintained condition for preparation of microplastics was...

A detailed experimental program was conducted to investigate some geotechnical properties of waste plastic strip-clay mixtures. In this manner, three different types of clays were used. Clays of three different origins, namely, a kaolinite, a sepiolite and a bentonite type of clay were used. Ten...

Converting waste plastic into valuable carbon materials as the electrode for supercapacitors represents a sustainable way to deal with the severe waste plastic-related environmental issues. However, ideal carbon materials for supercapacitors require not only a large specific surface area but also...

This study investigated the suitability of 31 recycled waste plastic samples obtained from 15 major recycling companies across Australia and New Zealand to be used as bitumen/asphalt modifiers. The plastics have been selected to be representative of recycled waste plastic around Australia and New...

In recent years, about 370 million tonnes of waste plastic are generated annually with about 9% recycled, 80% landfilled and 11% converted to energy. As recycling of waste plastics are quite expensive and labour-intensive, the focus has now been shifted towards converting waste plastics into energy ...

Prices of fossil fuels are heightening day by day. Stringent emission norms, escalation in energy demand and depletion of traditional fuels, forced the researchers to find alternative for internal combustion engines. On the other hand utilization of plastic products in various fields has...

A major replacement for conventional fuels must be found due to the depletion of fossil resources and strict emission regulations. In addition, waste management policies promote the valorisation of various wastes for the creation of alternative fuels in order to reduce the difficulties of waste...

Combining biomass, a clean and renewable energy source, with waste plastic, which serves as a good auxiliary fuel, can produce high-quality clean fuel. The performance of biomass-derived fuel can be improved by torrefaction. This study optimized the co-torrefaction of fungus bran and polypropylene...

Environmental information in recovery of waste plastic in a certificated factory in industrial park in Eastern China is provided in this paper. The process involves raw material storage, washing, closed crushing, closed regeneration, product storage, and waste storage. Particulate matters, heavy...
