Recycling, Volume 10, Issue 1

February 2025 - 28 articles

Cover Story: Polymer recycling is an essential topic to consider in our sustainability-driven society. In this work, we focus on the most common commodities, with the most important (in terms of production volume) being thermoplastics, rubbers, and thermosets. We review the common separation methods and the different recycling strategies. We also discuss the design of novel materials, at the molecular level, which will allow for easier recycling in the future. Generally, we conclude that research in this field is, in its nature, fragmented, with defined expertise often focusing on a specific kind of waste, application field, or technology. In contrast to this, the need for a multidisciplinary and integrative approach, including economic, environmental, and sustainability analyses, is a logical consequence of the overview presented in this work. View this paper
