Book excerpt: Plastics have become one of the most prolific materials on the planet: in 2015 we produced about 380 million tonnes of plastics globally, up from 2 million tonnes in the 1950s. Yet today only 15% of this plastic waste is collected and recycled into secondary plastics globally each year. This ...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This policy brief outlines the main findings from the project Plastic Waste Markets: Overcoming barriers to better resource utilisation. The aim of the project is to provide an overview of the key barriers to a stronger and more robust market for recycled plastics, and to suggest potential initiatives that could be used to overcome these barriers and strengthen the market. The project is part of the market challenges to the Nordic Prime Ministers’ green growth initiative, The Nordic Region – leading in green growth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This project examines the market for recycled plastic, with a primary focus on post-consumer plastic waste because this is considered to be the more problematic. The market for plastic waste generated in manufacturing and production is relatively strong and well-functioning; As a consequence, the majority of plastic waste from manufacturing and production is recycled. Post-consumer waste is much less homogenous: it comes from a wide variety of sources, and contains a wide variety of plastics and tends to be difficult to collect, sort, and recycle. This project identifies barriers to further utilisation of recycled plastics, and analyses a collection of policy tools that could be used to support and expand that market.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Markets for many classes of potentially recyclable materials are growing. However, market failures and barriers are constraining some markets. Factors such as information failures, technological externalities, and market power can affect the prices, quantity, and quality of materials traded. This report presents the case for the use of industrial policies which address such market failures and barriers and these policies are seen as complements to more traditional environmental policies. Indeed, encouraging ever-higher recycling rates in the absence of such complementary measures may impose very high social welfare costs. This publication covers in particular the markets for waste oils, waste plastics, and used rubber tires.--Publisher's description.

Book excerpt: This book provides a systematic and comprehensive account of the recent developments in the recycling of plastic waste material. It presents state-of-the-art procedures for recycling of plastics from different sources and various characterization methods adopted in analyzing their properties. In addition, it looks into properties, processing, and applications of recycled plastic products as one of the drivers for sustainable recycling plastics especially in developing countries. This book proves a useful reference source for both engineers and researchers working in composite materials science as well as the students attending materials science, physics, chemistry, and engineering courses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book shows the true and often-underestimated market potential of plastics recycling, with analysis from economic, ecological, and technical perspectives. It is aimed at both technical and non-technical readers, including decision makers in material suppliers, plastic product manufacturers, governmental agencies, educators, and anyone with a general interest in plastics recycling. An overview of waste handling systems with a focus on the U.S. market is provided. Different methods of waste handling are compared from both economic and ecological perspectives. Because plastic waste recycling is essential from an ecological point of view, common strategies and new approaches to both increase the recycling rate and improve recycling economically and technically are presented. This includes processing and material properties of recycled plastics. Finally, a worldwide outlook of plastic recycling is provided with analysis of additional worldwide markets, encompassing highly developed, fast-developing, and less developed countries. Bonus: All the data and calculations presented in the book are provided as downloadable spreadsheets for the reader's own analysis and updates.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This strategy document represents a master plan for plastics recycling in Alberta, with a focus on the Edmonton capital region. It first reviews the categories of plastic, the composition of plastic waste in the Edmonton region, plastic collection and recycling activities in the region, recovery rates, markets for post-consumer plastics, barriers to collection and processing of plastic waste, market barriers, and emerging opportunities for plastics recycling. It then presents five components of the plastics recycling strategy for the capital region, including optimization of the recycling infrastructure, public education and communication, market development, industry harmonization, and exploration of alternatives to recycling and landfilling. Finally, an action plan is proposed. Appendices include a profile of waste plastics in Alberta, a list of Alberta companies that manufacture and/or supply products made from recycled plastic, suggested specifications for post-consumer plastics intended for recycling, and recommended collection methods for post-consumer plastics.
