Plastic waste management via thermochemical conversion of plastics into fuel: a review
Energy Sources, Part A: Recovery, Utilization, and Environmental Effects, 2022Growing non-biodegradable waste plastics pose a significant environmental challenge that cannot be addressed by conventional methods alone. Therefore, alternative waste management methods such as plastic-to-fuel methods that convert waste plastics into ...

Plastic Waste Management: a Designer's Perspective
Progress in Rubber and Plastics Technology, 1997This is the second paper reviewing the designers’ role in plastic waste management. This paper continues the argument presented in the first paper(1) by dealing with a number of key issues and design methods associated with the recycling of plastic waste. It is split up into four main sections which present and discuss techniques such as the ‘cascade’

Exergy Analysis of Plastic Waste Management
2014Using material flow analysis (MFA) and exergy analysis, two competing scenarios for the management of municipal plastic waste arising from private households are evaluated. In Scenario A there is no source-separation of plastics, and the mixed waste stream is sent for incineration to a waste-to-energy plant (energy recovery). In Scenario B plastics are
