including competing with the low cost and higher quality fossil-fuel-derived resins, lack of proper segregation from other wastes, and dealing with associated contamination. Plastics alternatives will always be an important part of the solution
Challenges to recycle plastic include segregation, adulterants and macromolecular structure degradation which could influence the recyclate properties and pose challenges for manufacturing products. A model was developed to evaluate the economic value and mechanical potential of PET recyclate. The model ...
The three landfills are all serving as the municipal solid waste disposal facility for each municipality, which have highly dense populations. Since no proper waste segregation system has been implemented, the detailed composition of the waste material including the source of hazardous substances has no...
