Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
At a time when the regulatory framework for plastic waste management is becoming stricter, and with a growing awareness of the environmental risks associated with plastic pollution, the research effort on the recycling of polymer-based materials is increasing.
The present Special Issue of Polymers aims to gather cutting-edge reviews and original research papers on recent advances in polymer and polymer-based materials recycling, including (but not limited to):
- Chemical recycling (solvent purification, depolymerization, gasification, pyrolysis, etc.);
- Recycling of non-packaging waste (textile, sports goods, construction materials, etc.);
- Identification and elimination of additives and disruptors in waste flows;
- Recycling of elastomers;
- Recycling of composites.
