About this book
Currently, large amounts of plastic waste are incinerated or landfilled, despite the existence of several recycling routes. In this book, a roadmap is provided to increase the amount of recycled plastic waste. Focus is on poly(methyl methacrylate), PMMA, which is a polymer widely used for its optical properties. The entire recycling chain, from collection of plastic waste, to mechanical/chemical recycling, and purification is covered.
- Polymer recycling chain concepts will be discussed in a broader perspective by linking life cycling analysis, costing, transition governance, and socio-technical system innovation.
- A unique roadmap will be given to increase polymer circularity.
