The Role of Biodegradable Plastic in Solving Plastic Solid Waste Accumulation

Plastics to Energy, 2019
This chapter presents the idea that there are a range of target plastic products where substitution with biodegradable plastics would be the most effective way to address the issue of plastic solid waste accumulation.

Recycling of Hazardous Waste Materials in the Coking Process

Environmental Science & Technology, 2004
Every year the coking industry produces a significant amount of tarry and other wastes in byproducts plants. For the most part these wastes have not been put to any practical use. In addition, an integrated factory produces several waste oils which differ in composition and quantity, e.g., wastes from the steel rolling-mill process.

Recycling of Wastes into Construction Materials

2015
Construction activity generates a large amount of waste, causing environmental and economic impacts due to waste elimination without recycling or reusing these materials. In this research, the incorporation of wastes from different sectors (biomass, power plants, construction and demolition process) in concrete with good fire resistance is studied. The

The effect of prices on the recycling of waste materials

Resources Policy, 1978
Abstract Recycling policy, insofar as it exists, tends to be heavily weighted towards price manipulation. However, it is by now fairly well established that the supply of secondary materials is in most cases quite unresponsive to price changes, so that price-based policies are very unlikely to be effective.

THE USE OF WASTE AND RECYCLED MATERIALS IN ROADS.

Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Transport, 1995
The use increase in aggregates production in Great Britain since 1960 has generated growing concern over the environmental impact of aggregates extraction. Attention is turning to the large amounts of waste materials and by-products which are stockpiled in spoil tips around Great Britain.

Use of Recycled and Waste Materials in Indiana

Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2004
The improved generation, handling, and safe disposal of waste and recycled materials have become a major concern in the United States. Generators of waste are under growing pressure either to find new facilities to dispose of it, as old facilities reach their capacity, or to recycle the waste.

Recycling waste materials in geopolymer concrete

Clean Technologies and Environmental Policy, 2019
The widespread industry adoption of geopolymer concrete has the potential to positively contribute to environmental sustainability in both the industrial and construction sectors, through the recycling of waste materials, and the reduction in carbon emissions.

Waste material recycling and exchanging decisions for industrial symbiosis network optimization

, 2020
The industrial symbiosis initiative, which aims to reuse waste resources, is considered as a potential solution for sustainable manufacturing. Compared with much literature for the industrial symbiosis optimization about waste energy and wastewater, this
