During the last two decades, EU legislation has put increasing pressure on member countries to achieve specified recycling targets for municipal household waste. These targets can be obtained in various ways choosing collection methods, separation methods, decentral or central logistic systems, etc. This paper compares municipal solid waste (MSW) m...

The dual challenges of increasing urbanization and consumption are centered in cities in the Global South, where growing waste production threatens public and environmental health. Reuse and recycling are widely recognized to provide broad environmental benefits. Although most industrialized cities replaced their informal recycling sectors with mun...

Physico-chemical waste composition data are paramount for the assessment and planning of waste management systems. However, the applicability of data is limited by the regional, temporal and technical scope of waste characterisation studies. As Danish and European legislation aims for higher recycling rates evaluation of source-segregation and recy...

Plastics recycling has the potential to substitute virgin plastics partially as a source of raw materials in plastic product manufacturing. Plastic as a material may contain a variety of chemicals, some potentially hazardous. Phthalates, for instance, are a group of chemicals produced in large volumes and are commonly used as plasticisers in plasti...

Rare earth metals, REEs, which is a group of metallic elements, are used in LEDs for creating colored light. REEs are produced by mining in different countries, where China accounts for about 90% of global production. The recovery of REEs appearing in LED lights are now virtually non-existent and Stena Techno World AB has requested a study showing ...

This paper presents an innovative fibre-matrix separation method applied to carbon fibre reinforced thermosets with two different media (water and a water/ethanol mixture) under sub- and supercritical conditions. The influence of different experimental conditions, nature of solvents and temperature on the properties of the recycled carbon fibres (r...
