Plastics waste management: processing and disposal
Plastics are increasingly used in modern-day life due to their wide-ranging properties which can be used in a variety of applications. ‘Plastics Waste Management: Processing and Disposal’ is primarily written from an industrial point-of-view and relates waste management to understanding the correct processes for dealing with the growing issue of plastics waste. This book mainly focuses on plastics waste, though plastic materials, additives and processing are dealt with to some extent; thermosetting materials are also briefly covered. It would be impossible, in a volume of this size, to cover all the plastics and additives in detail. Plastics and the environment are also discussed and, although limited to a few pages, provides information which is extremely useful. The section on plastics processing management describes the methods of manufacturing plastic products and the chapter dealing with case studies gives practical guidance as well as considerable information regarding recycling and disposal. This book contains a wealth of information and a comprehensive approach to waste management. Similarly, the sales and marketing of recycled plastics are discussed and is followed by a section on the management of recycled plastics. This book will be of great interest to professionals within the environment and plastics industries who want to contribute to progress within this field. This book gives a clear and comprehensive exposition of the many facets of plastics waste management. The bulk of the information concerns the concepts and fundamentals of waste management, and offers fresh ideas to consider when addressing the problems of plastics waste.
