Plastics and Sustainability: Practical Approaches provides a broad
overview of sustainability as applied to plastics, offering a range of
opportunities and solutions to be applied in an academic or industrial
setting. The book begins by introducing the challenges and
opportunities relating to plastics and environmental sustainability.
This is followed by detailed eco-profiles organized by polymer
category. Subsequent chapters explore various approaches to plastics
sustainability, with in-depth coverage of incineration technology for
energy recovery, pyrolysis for chemical recovery, blending technology,
design, packaging, circular economy, and biopolymers. Finally,
international policies are summarized.
The book aims to provide a
broad source of information and a range of options to readers on how
to evaluate and improve the sustainability of plastics, with analyses
of the advantages and drawbacks of different technologies and
materials. Authored by two professional engineers with substantial
experience in industry and consultancy, this is a valuable resource for
all those looking for a wide-ranging overview of sustainability as
applied to plastics, including researchers and advanced students from a
range of materials science and engineering disciplines, and engineers,
manufacturers, scientists, and R&D professionals from a range of
industries.
