The COVID-19 pandemic, which led to the unprecedented production of face masks, which are made from plastic coupled with all-time low oil demand (and prices), has once again triggered efforts to shore up international commitments to reduce plastic waste leakage into the natural environment, ...
Abstract: The rapid growth, demand, and production of batteries to meet various emerging applica- tions, such as electric vehicles and energy storage systems, will result in waste and disposal problems in the next few years as these batteries reach end-of-life. Battery reuse and recycling are ...
studied the recycling of e-waste with the participation of multiple entities [4]. Haiyan Shan and Junliang Yang used a triparty evolutionary game model to study the strategic choice and evolution of enterprises, poor households, and governments when studying photovoltaic poverty reduction [6]. At ...

The biggest problem during production planning process of an innovative wind power plant is selection of materials and technologies and, consequently, the waste generated at this stage. Therefore, the aim of this publication was to conduct an environmental analysis of the life cycle of elements of ...

The wide and large-scale use leads to an accumulation of thermoset waste. Currently, thermoset and thermoset composite wastes are grounded up into fillers, incinerated, or digested using environmentally friendly technologies, and the vast majority are sent to land- fills because they are considered ...
2. Waste Tyre Management Practice The goal of waste tyre management is to identify the most efficient approach to limit the waste's environmental impact. Reduction in consumption, reuse/recycling, and energy recovery are all strategies for solving the WT problem. The primary reason for developing ...
In this context, recycling is universally considered as an effective action to secure access to raw materials; for Cu, eliminating losses during and after use is estimated to determine up to 25% reduction in the global primary Cu input [13]. In fact, Cu is among the most recycled metals,...
