Recycling, Volume 4, Issue 3

Some industrial wastes are shown to be useful in the production of mullite ceramics. These industrial wastes are rich in certain metal oxides such as silica (SiO₂) and alumina (Al₂O₃). This gives wastes the potential to be used as a starting material...

This study seeks to find the influence of replacing a portion of the asphalt–rubber binder with the bio-based material “guayule resin.” This replacement could be beneficial in terms of sustainability, economics, and environmental co...

The melt conditioned direct chill (MC-DC) casting process has been used for the production of billets of AA-6111 alloy formulated from recycled aluminium derived from incinerator bottom ash (IBA). The billets were homogenised and then extruded into p...

The recovery of valuable metals from waste printed circuit boards (WPCBs) is crucial in order to harness their economic resources, and prevents potential environmental contamination. However, selective extraction of Cu and Zn, and the co-extraction o...

This paper studies the utilization and management of the waste mollusk shell. The two major export countries of mollusk shell are the Southeast Asia’s Thailand and the Philippines. First, the aquaculture of oysters and bivalve shells has been s...

The treatment of end-of-life vehicles generates large amounts of automobile shredder residue (ASR), a potential source of recycled metals. Reliable measurement methods are required to determine the composition of ASR and evaluate the resource potenti...

Polypropylene and polystyrene are petroleum-based thermoplastics which are commonly used and disposed of in the environment after their service life, leading to environmental degradation. There is a need to recycle polypropylene and polystyrene, but...

Considering that the large quantity of waste electrical and electronic equipment plastics generated annually causes increasing environmental concerns for their recycling and also for preserving of raw material resources, decreasing of energy consumpt...

The increase in the generation of used automotive lubricating oils is an issue of growing concern, especially in developing countries. Most used oil contains degraded additives and its indiscriminate disposal causes environmental degradation and poll...

The scope of this work covers a proposal for the implementation of sustainable, low-cost, environmentally friendly, and affordable housing for low-income people. This paper aims to address the current housing issues, namely that many people lack dece...

The use of recycled aggregate in new concrete has often been limited due to concerns over their quality and structural performance. This research aims to investigate the physical properties of recycled roof tile aggregate and its suitability for conc...

The rates of waste generation in India have been increasing with increasing population and urbanization. Since higher education campuses are like mini autonomous cities, they can act as a model for solid waste management (SWM) and enhance sustainable...

The circular economy (CE) concept is gaining traction as a sustainable strategy for reducing waste and enhancing resource efficiency. This concept has been adopted in some countries such as Denmark, Netherlands, Scotland, Sweden, Japan, China, and Ge...

The article compares the energetic qualities of fuels from waste with hard coal. A cogeneration system has been modeled based on the organic Rankine cycle (ORC) powered by the investigated fuels in order to identify possibilities as well as problems...
