Today, discarded plastics in nature have caused serious “white pollution”, however these
plastic wastes contain abundant carbon resources that could serve as the feedstock to …

Fossil fuels are currently the most significant energy sources. They are expected to become
less available and more expensive, leading to a great demand for energy conservation and …

Less than 10% of the plastics generated globally are recycled, while the rest are incinerated,
accumulated in landfills, or leak into the environment. New technologies are emerging to …

The proper handling of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) is critical due to its high generation
rate and the potential to minimise environmental impacts by simultaneously reducing …

Originating from the desire to improve sustainability, producing fuels and chemicals from the
conversion of biomass and waste plastic has become an important research topic in the …

Plastics and microplastics are difficult to degrade in the natural environment due to their
hydrophobicity, the presence of stable covalent bonds and functional groups that are not …

Despite extensive research in recent years and great potential to help with energy and
waste management issues, thermochemical conversion technologies of mixed waste …

Chemical recycling of solid plastic waste (SPW) is a paramount opportunity to reduce marine
and land pollution and to enable the incorporation of the circular economy principle in …

The development of novel strategies for recycling and reusing fiber composites is driven by
various environmental and economic factors. Recycling materials mean that materials are …

Pyrolysis is a viable thermochemical conversion (TCC) process to convert waste plastics into
useful chemicals and alternative energy. Specifically, co-pyrolysis of plastics with biomass …
